Product Description
Fothergilla is a slow-growing compact deciduous shrub with an upright mounding habit. The thick blue-green to green foliage turn showy shades of yellow, orange, and red in fall. The bottlebrush-like spikes with fragrant snowy white flowers bloom through spring before the foliage emerges. Blooms best in rich, moist well-drained acidic soils.
Fothergilla is a native pollinator that provides nectar for several species of butterflies and bees.
