Witch Hazel 'Sunburst', Hamamelis mollis 'Sunburst'
Outstanding for its large flowers, Hamamelis x intermedia ‘Sunburst’ (Witch Hazel) is a vigorous, upright, vase-shaped deciduous shrub with slightly-scented pale yellow flowers in late winter and early spring. Each flower consists of 4 ribbon-like, fairly straight, slightly crimped, strap-shaped petals and a light claret-red calyx. Clustered along the leafless branches, the flowers unfurl their spidery petals on mild days. But on cold days, they curl up again and nearly close up to prevent damage from freezing temperatures. The ascending branches are clothed with broadly oval, green leaves, which turn attractive shades of orange and yellow in fall.
