Witch Hazel – Hamamelis virginiana 60 Seeds | Late Fall Fragrant Blooms | Hardy Native Shrub American Witchhazel | Brilliant Yellow Fall Color | Woodland Favorite

Enhance your landscape with this 60-seed pack of American Witch Hazel (Hamamelis virginiana), a hardy native shrub or small tree prized for its rare late-season blooms and brilliant fall color.

From October through December, fragrant bright yellow flowers with slender ribbon-like petals appear along bare branches—often after leaf drop—creating a striking display when most plants are dormant. In autumn, the foliage turns a clear golden yellow before falling, adding another layer of seasonal interest.

Witch Hazel typically grows 15–20 feet tall with a similar spread, forming an open crown of arching, crooked branches. It is an excellent choice for woodland gardens, shrub borders, wildlife habitat plantings, privacy screens, and bonsai. This adaptable species is cold hardy, urban tolerant, and long valued for traditional herbal uses.
