Come now, there must be room for at least one witch hazel in your life. There are plenty to choose from, from soft pale yellow to deep, raunchy crimson. And the scent of those raggedy flowers: surely that’s enough to make you plant at least five of the bushes?
Here are some of the most beautiful witch hazels out there:

Lovely. It’s as if someone’s been cutting tissue paper into little threads and has been distributing them round the plants.

Some real beauties, beautifully photographed. If the weather allows we hope to visit a garden near to us which holds a collection of witch hazels so I hope I get photos of this quality to blog about.
