Hamamelis × intermedia 'Diane' is a large, winter-flowering, deciduous shrub with a spreading habit and broad, open crown. Its oval, green leaves turn yellow, orange and red in autumn. Very unusual, slightly scented, copper-red flowers with four, narrow, ribbon-like petals bloom from January to March before the leaves emerge. Fruits often appear at the same time.

Best flowering is achieved when grown in full sun. Low maintenance plant, doesn’t require regular pruning. Hamamelis × intermedia 'Diane' is a hybrid between Japanese witch hazel (H. japonica) and Chinese witch hazel (H. mollis). It’s an excellent winter-flowering shrub that brings colour to winter landscapes. Autumn leaves are also very attractive. It is great for shrub borders and woodland gardens, informal hedges and screens, or as a specimen plant.
