Hamamelis intermedia Sunburst Witch Hazel

Hamamelis Sunburst is a striking deciduous shrub, prized for its dazzling display of large, fragrant, bright yellow flowers that illuminate the garden from mid to late winter. The distinctive ribbon-like, crimped petals bloom along the bare branches, creating a spectacular burst of colour and sweet perfume when little else is flowering. Compared with many other Witch Hazels, Sunburst has a slightly narrower, upright vase-shaped habit, making it an elegant feature plant for gardens of all sizes. As the seasons change, the lush green foliage transforms into brilliant shades of golden yellow, orange, and red in autumn, providing a second season of exceptional colour. Sunburst is perfect as a specimen shrub, in woodland-style gardens, or planted where its winter fragrance and vibrant blooms can be fully appreciated.
