Witch Hazel – Hamamelis virginiana 120 Seeds | Late Fall Fragrant Blooms | Hardy Native Shrub American Witchhazel | Brilliant Yellow Fall Color | Woodland Favorite

Grow your own American Witch Hazel (Hamamelis virginiana) with this 120-seed pack of a hardy, native shrub or small tree known for its rare and beautiful late-season blooms.

From October through December, fragrant bright yellow flowers with slender, ribbon-like petals bloom along bare branches—often after the leaves have fallen—creating a stunning display when most plants are dormant. In fall, the foliage turns a clear golden yellow, adding vibrant seasonal color to woodland gardens and landscapes.

This adaptable shrub typically grows 15–20 feet tall with a similar spread, forming an open crown of arching branches. It thrives in woodland borders, naturalized areas, wildlife habitats, shrub screens, and even bonsai cultivation. Cold hardy and urban tolerant, Witch Hazel has long been valued for its traditional herbal uses and ecological benefits.
