Hamamelis x intermedia 'Orange Beauty'

Common Name: 'Orange Beauty' Witchhazel

Hamamelis × intermedia ‘Orange Beauty’ is a deciduous shrub valued for its vivid orange winter flowers and graceful form. Oval green leaves emerge in spring, form a full canopy through summer, and turn shades of yellow to orange in fall, while clusters of narrow, ribbon-like flowers appear in late winter to early spring in bright orange tones, sometimes with a light fragrance. Its vibrant color adds warmth and brightness to the winter garden.
