Prized for its profusion of sweetly fragrant flowers and its lovely fall colors, Hamamelis x intermedia 'Diane' (Witch Hazel) is a very eye-catching winter-flowering shrub. Hardy, this medium to large, vase-shaped, deciduous shrub enjoys dense clusters of scented, copper-red flowers in mid- to late winter. Each flower consists of 4 ribbon-like, crinkled, strap-shaped petals. The broad, oval, green leaves warm up to attractive shades of yellow, orange and red in fall.
