Experience the captivating allure of Hamamelis mollis, commonly known as Chinese Witch Hazel, an exquisite deciduous shrub that enchants with its aromatic, golden-yellow flowers. Originating from the enchanting forests of western and west-central China, this shrub reaches a majestic height and spread of 10 to 15 feet. Adorned with brilliant blooms from January to March, each flower showcases a unique blend of yellow petals and reddish-brown calyx cups, exuding a remarkable fragrance that sets it apart as the most aromatic of all witch hazels.

Hardy in USDA Zones 5-8, Chinese Witch Hazel flourishes in full sun to part shade, thriving in moist, acidic, organically-rich soils. Its stunning fall foliage transitions to a vibrant yellow, providing year-round visual interest. Ideal for garden borders, woodland gardens, or as a standalone specimen, this low-maintenance shrub is resistant to deer, clay soils, and erosion. Ensure optimal performance with regular moisture and by pruning unwanted root suckers to prevent spread. Despite its resilience, it's wise to shield this captivating plant from harsh winter winds to preserve its delicate flower buds. Embrace the timeless beauty and fragrance of Hamamelis mollis in your landscape, crafting an enchanting winter bouquet or a bold statement in your garden design.
