Aphrodite climbers

Hamamelis x intermedia 'Aphrodite' also known as 'Witch Hazel' is a non-evergreen shrub of a spreading habit with deliciously fragrant, clusters of large yellow-orange flowers with narrow, crimped petals in winter and early spring on the bare branches and large oval-shaped dark green leaves, which colour up vibrantly during the autumn.

How to grow

This low maintenance shrub will add wonderful interest to the garden during the colder months and can be grown within a large mixed bed, border in a cottage or informal style layout or as a free standing specimen.
