3291 Hamamelis virginiana, Witch Hazel - seeds Hamamelis virginiana, known as common or American witch-hazel, is a species of witch-hazel native to eastern North America, from Nova Scotia west to Minnesota, and south to central Florida to eastern Texas. It is a small, deciduous tree with a dense cluster of stems from its base. The young leaves open involute, covered with stellate rusty down; when full grown, they are dark green above, and paler beneath. Native Americans produced witch hazel extract by boiling the stems of the shrub and producing a decoction, which was used to treat swellings, inflammations, and tumors. Early Puritan settlers in New England adopted this remedy from the natives, and its use became widely established in the United States. An extract of the plant is used in the astringent witch hazel.Ordering seeds info RECOMMENDED SUPPLIES: Seed Germination Mix #3, professional grade SUNSHINE-S - Seeds and cuttings booster Myco Mix - pro-mix with Mycorrhiza SUNSHINE Bombino - Young Plant Booster | Per pack: 6 seeds 2 Packs in stock $7.00 |
