Witch Hazel – Hamamelis virginiana 30 Seeds | Late Fall Fragrant Blooms | Hardy Native Shrub American Witchhazel | Brilliant Yellow Fall Color | Woodland Favorite

Bring rare late-season color and fragrance to your garden with this 30-seed pack of American Witch Hazel (Hamamelis virginiana). This hardy native shrub or small tree is prized for its bright yellow, ribbon-like flowers that bloom from October through December—often after the leaves have fallen.

The fragrant, spider-like blooms appear along bare branches when most other plants are dormant, creating a dramatic and unique fall-to-winter display. In autumn, the foliage turns a clear golden yellow before dropping. This species is also valued for wildlife habitat and its long history of traditional and modern herbal use.

Witch Hazel grows 15–20 feet tall with a similar spread, forming an open crown of arching branches. It is well suited for woodland gardens, shrub borders, naturalized plantings, privacy screens, and even bonsai cultivation.
