Hamamelis Feuerzauber

More commonly known as Witch Hazel, Hamamelis Feuerzauber are winter flowering plants with ovate leaves and a bushy growing habit. This cultivar is a cross between Japanese witch hazel and the Chinese witch hazel plant.

‘Feuerzauber’ translates as ‘Magic Fire’, and it’s easy to see where this plant got its name. The bare branches are covered in masses of sweetly scented, fiery orange-red flowers all winter long. Yellow-green young leaves emerge in spring, turning mid-green as they mature. In autumn, the fiery theme returns with the foliage providing dramatic autumn colour in shades of red and yellow.

Witch Hazel Magic Fire is an easy plant to grow and look after. It prefers a spot in full sun or partial shade and thrives in slightly acidic, moist but well-draining soil. Water these scented shrubs during particularly dry spells and mulch in spring. Only prune when necessary to remove dead or damaged branches, or to maintain the shrub’s size and shape.
