Corylopsis pauciflora

Covered with small yellow fragrant flowers in late winter, this small dense shrub will spread out to six feet in time. It likes the sun or partial shade, moist acidic soil though it will tolerate soil to the alkaline edge of the pH scale, and moderate weather though it is cold hardy while at rest in winter.

Fothergilla gardenii

A large deciduous shrub up to 5-10 feet tall, Dwarf Fothergilla (Fothergilla gardenii.) is native to North America and produces off-white to white flowers in the spring.

This plant is ideal for natural and native gardens, as it will attract numerous butterflies and hummingbirds and is also known to be deer resistant. Dwarf Fothergilla is also a great ornamental as its bright white flowers stand out against its bright foliage during late spring and early summer. For optimum growth, plant it in full sun or semi-shade and be sure to give it regular water when its foliage begins to develop in the spring and summer months.

In addition to the plant's normal needs, those living in colder climates should provide extra care for Dwarf Fothergilla. It is best grown in USDA hardiness zones 9-11. In colder climate it is suggested to plant Dwarf Fothergilla in a large pot, which is easy to move indoors when temperatures plummet. This helps to ensure that your plant will survive the frosty months and enjoy sunshine once spring arrives.

Dwarf Fothergilla is an excellent choice of shrub that can add fragrance and color to any garden. With the right amount of sun and water, combined with the proper care during cold winter months, this shrub can bring delight with its white flowers, and striking foliage.

Hamamelis virginiana

Hamamelis virginiana, commonly known as the American Witch-Hazel, is a native deciduous plant of Eastern North America from the Hamamelidaceae family. This large shrub reaches between 5 to 10 feet in height and grows best in full sun or semi-shaded locations and requires regular watering for optimal growth. The bright yellow to orange blooms, which appear in clusters, blossom in mid-fall and last until late fall.

The foliage of the American Witch-Hazel turns vibrant shades of yellow, orange and red during the autumn months before falling and leaving the plant semi-dormant during winter. The plant tolerates cold temperatures down to 30s F for a short time and is mature cold hardy in USDA Zones 9 to 11.

In regions that experience harsher winters, American Witch-Hazel can be grown in pots and brought indoors. To ensure the health of the plant, it should be kept in soil which is well-draining and the pot should be placed in a sun-filled, yet cool spot indoors. Water regularly and keep the soil slightly moist throughout, but be careful not to overwater. During the late winter and spring months, the plant will require a slightly higher fertilizer dosage to promote healthy growth, with a potentially higher rate of organic nutrients.

The American Witch-Hazel has many ethnomedical uses and is known for its astringent shell extract and healing properties. Tea brewed with the leaves and bark have long been used to treat pain and inflammation. Additionally, the extract is used in various beauty and skincare products, while the leaves are used in dried flower arrangements.
