Hamamelis x intermedia 'Ruby Glow' | Witch hazel - Height 170-180cm - 45lt

Hamamelis x intermedia 'Ruby Glow' is a captivating deciduous shrub, renowned for its striking winter blooms and vibrant fall foliage. Standing at an impressive height of 150cm, this cultivar of witch hazel makes a stunning statement in any garden.

The most notable feature of 'Ruby Glow' is its unique flowers. During the late winter, when most of the garden lies dormant, this shrub bursts into life with an abundance of ribbon-like petals. These flowers are a deep, ruby-red color, exuding a spicy fragrance that adds a sensory delight to the garden. They contrast beautifully against the bare, woody branches, creating a striking visual display.

As the seasons change, so does the foliage of 'Ruby Glow'. In autumn, the leaves turn a fiery array of colors, from bright yellows to rich oranges and reds, before falling to the ground. This seasonal transformation adds year-round interest to the landscape.

This witch hazel variety thrives in well-drained, acidic to neutral soil and prefers a position in full sun to partial shade. It's relatively low maintenance, requiring minimal pruning, mainly to shape or remove any dead or crossed branches. 'Ruby Glow' is also known for its hardiness, making it a resilient choice for many gardens.
