Hamamelis X Intermedia Arnold Promise Witch Hazel

Hamamelis X Intermedia Arnold Promise Witch Hazel is known for its aromatic, bright yellow flowers with four crinkled, ribbon-like, strap-shaped petals and a reddish-green calyx. They appear in late winter to early spring. The flowers open their spidery petals on warm days. On cold days, however, they nearly close up and curl back to protect themselves from damage caused by freezing temperatures. Arnold Promise Witch Hazel has oval green leaves that change to yellow and red in the fall. This deciduous shrub grows best in full sun to part shade and average, medium moist, well-drained soils. It can be used for beds, borders, hedges, and screens.
