Witch Hazel 'Jelena'

Hamamelis x intermedia Jelena, or Witch Hazel Jelena, has a terrific floral display with hints of yellow, orange, and red on its ribbon-like flowers, which sometimes emerge as early as February.

We grow this variety as a half-standard tree and a multi-stemmed bush. Opting for the multi-stemmed bush version offers several advantages. Its bushy structure creates a fuller, more impactful visual presence, making it an excellent choice for adding texture and depth to smaller garden spaces. The multiple stems encourage more blooms, providing a vibrant display that enhances the landscape throughout early spring. Additionally, the bush form is perfect for informal garden designs and offers versatility in planting arrangements, allowing you to create lush, layered borders or attractive hedges.

This small tree is ideal for a garden border where space is at a premium. Witch Hazel Jelena also boasts a fantastic autumn display that can start quite early in September. The foliage transforms from green to luminescent yellow, orange, and red before falling in October.

It thrives on most free-draining soils but prefers moist conditions for optimal growth.
