Corylus avellana 'Contorta' Corylus avellana 'Contorta'
(Harry Lauder’s walking stick, Corkscrew hazel) (2 user reviews)
Hardiness Zones: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

This upright, tree-like shrub has heart-shaped, toothed, mid-green leaves. Pendent yellow catkins are borne in late winter and early spring. Strongly twisted, spiraling shoots provide year-round interest.
Hamamelis virginiana Hamamelis virginiana
(Common witch hazel) Be the first to rate this plant
Hardiness Zones: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

The native common witch hazel is an understory plant that becomes leggy if it has to reach for light, but in the open, it develops into a graceful, spreading shrub about 20 feet tall. Its broad leaves turn a clear, bright yellow in the autumn. The abundance of pale yellow fall flowers that accompanies the foliage comes as a wonderful late-season surprise. The deceptively fragile-looking blossoms that appear near the end of October seem to keep winter at bay for weeks.
Hydrangea paniculata Hydrangea paniculata

Hardiness Zones: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

This plant produces gracefully arching branches and pyramidal clusters of white, then pink-tinged to dusky purple blossoms.
