'Barmstedt Gold' witch hazel is at the forefront of fine winter-blooming shrubs available today. From the extremely heavy bloom quantity to the long length of individual petals on each flower, you'd have a hard time putting any more color on a witch hazel in winter.

Add to that the fabulously spicy bouquet of fragrance that wafts from this wonder, and you have a dandy plant to brighten the worst of winter doldrums.

This is not a hard shrub to grow. The plants I've photographed and will be posting here include a wide-open lawn spot at a subdivision intersection and a shaded roadside poor soil uncared-for location in a local park. Both are performing fine, albeit the open sunny spot plant is doing better.

Add this one to your repertoire; you won't regret it.
