Buttercup Winterhazel, Buttercup Witch Hazel
Prized for its delicate fragrant blooms, Corylopsis pauciflora (Buttercup Winterhazel) is a slow-growing medium-sized deciduous shrub of great interest year-round. In late winter to early spring, a profusion of scented, pale primrose yellow, bell-shaped flowers in short drooping racemes appears on the naked branches. They persist for several weeks and offer a lovely floral display. After flowering, small, ovate, bright green leaves, bronze when young, emerge for the summer and turn yellow in fall. Featuring a spreading habit, this multi-stemmed, flowering shrub is so dense that it is almost impossible to see through, even in winter.
