    Hamamelis virginiana (Common Witchhazel) Witchhazel Family (Hamamelidaceae) Introduction: This native large shrub or small tree offers attractive yellow foliage and fragrant fl owers in fall. It is an excellent plant for naturalized settings. Culture: Common witchhazel performs best in moist soils in full sun or shade. It prefers soils that are slightly acidic or neutral, as it is not as tolerant of high pH as Hamamelis vernalis. Common witchhazel is hardy in Zones 3 to 8, possibly 9. Common witchhazel has no serious disease or insect problems, although it may develop galls on the bottom of its leaves if planted near birch trees. Botanical Characteristics: Additional information: The common name witchhazel comes from Native habitat: Canada south to Georgia, west to an old English word that means “to bend.” European Arkansas and Nebraska. species of Hamamelis were once used as divining rods to search for water. Growth habit: Large shrub or small tree with Witchhazel bark has been mixed with water large, spreading branches that form a rounded crown. and alcohol to make an astringent for sores and bruis- es. Tannins found in the bark have also been used to Tree size: 20 to 30 feet tall with a 15- to 20-foot treat hemorrhoids and in eye medications.

    Witch-hazel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witch-hazel You can support Wikipedia by making a tax-deductible donation. Witch-hazel From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Witch-hazel (Hamamelis) is a genus of flowering plants in the Witch-hazel family Hamamelidaceae, with two species in North America (H. virginiana and H. vernalis), and one each in Japan (H. japonica) and China (H. mollis). They are deciduous shrubs or (rarely) small trees growing to 3-8 m tall, rarely to 12 m tall. The leaves are alternately arranged, oval, 4-16 cm long and 3-11 cm broad, with a smooth or wavy margin. The horticultural name means "together with fruit"; its fruit, flowers, and next year's leaf buds all appear on the branch simultaneously, a rarity among trees. [1] The flowers are sometimes produced on the leafless stems in winter, thus one alternative name for the plant, "Winterbloom". [1] Each flower has four slender strap-shaped petals 1-2 cm long, pale to dark yellow, orange, or red. The fruit is a two-part capsule 1 cm long, containing a single 5 mm glossy black seed in each of the two parts; the capsule splits explosively at maturity in the autumn about 8 months after flowering, ejecting the seeds with sufficient force to fly for distances of up to 10 m, thus another Hamamelis virginiana alternative name "Snapping Hazel". [1] Scientific classification Kingdom: Plantae Hamamelis species are used as food plants by the larvae of Division: Magnoliophyta some Lepidoptera species including Feathered Thorn. Class: Magnoliopsida The name Witch has its origins in Middle English wiche, from Order: Saxifragales the Old English wice, meaning "pliant" or "bendable".

  • Open As a Single Document
    The Witch Hazel Family (Hamamelidaceae) by RICHARD E. WEAVER, JR. The Arnold Arboretum has claimed that there is a tree or shrub in bloom every month of the year on its grounds in Jamaica Plain, Mass. In many years this assertion is true, but only because of a single genus of plants, Hamamelis, the Witch Hazels. As December ar- rives, the last pale yellow flowers begin to fade on the Common Witch Hazel, H. virginiana, a native of the eastern United States. And with the New Year come the fragrant, bronzy flowers of the Vernal Witch Hazel, H. vernalis, closely followed by the bright and beautiful yellow blossoms of the Chinese species, H. mollis. The Witch Hazels belong to the Hamamelidaceae, a family of plants which are mostly neglected by the American horticultural public. Admittedly, the family is insignificant horticulturally com- pared with some others, for example, the Rose Family, as a result of the diversity and sheer number of its genera and species, and the Magnolia Family, because of the universal appeal of some of its members. But a high percentage of the species in the Hamamelida- ceae are first class ornamentals, possessing charm, beautiful and often fragrant flowers, unusual blooming times, and brilliant au- tumnal coloration. Most also are easy to grow if the soil is light and loamy, and they bloom reasonably well in partial shade. In addition, they are not bothered by any serious diseases or insect pests. This article will present a brief discussion of all of the genera which are hardy in the northern half of the United States.

    Chapter Four: Landscaping with Native Plants A Gardener’s Guide for Missouri Landscaping with Native Plants A Gardener’s Guide for Missouri Introduction Gardening with native plants is becoming the norm rather than the exception in Missouri. The benefits of native landscaping are fueling a gardening movement that says “no” to pesticides and fertilizers and “yes” to biodiversity and creating more sustainable landscapes. Novice and professional gardeners are turning to native landscaping to reduce mainte- nance and promote plant and wildlife conservation. This manual will show you how to use native plants to cre- ate and maintain diverse and beauti- ful spaces. It describes new ways to garden lightly on the earth. Chapter Four: Landscaping with Native Plants provides tools garden- ers need to create and maintain suc- cessful native plant gardens. The information included here provides practical tips and details to ensure successful low-maintenance land- scapes. The previous three chap- ters include Reconstructing Tallgrass Prairies, Rain Gardening, and Native landscapes in the Whitmire Wildflower Garden, Shaw Nature Reserve.

Grasses that hold their flower stalk well into winter are also included. In many cases, only the species or a good, representative cultivar of a species has been included. For example, many cultivars of purple coneflower, Echinacea purpurea are good, long-season bloomers, but only the species has been listed.

  • Best Plants for Problem Clay Soils: Shrubs
    Visit us on the Web: www.gardeninghelp.org Best Plants for Problem Clay Soils: Shrubs Shrubs Aesculus pavia — Red buckeye Hummingbirds are attracted to the long clusters of red to orange-red flowers of red buckeye. It has palmately compound leaves and seed capsules with 1 or 2 shiny brown buckeyes. Red buckeye grows in full sun to part shade, although it may become more open in shade. This shrub is suitable for the shrub border in groups, massed or as a specimen plant, keeping in mind that it may lose its leaves in early fall. Callicarpa americana — Beautyberry The delicate lavender to pink flowers of beautyberry mature into profuse bright violet to magenta fruits that encircle the nodes of the stems in thick rings. In the St. Louis area, this loose, open shrub will probably die back to the ground in winter and should he grown as an herbaceous perennial. Best when massed at the back of shrub borders, in native plant gardens, or naturalized, beautyberry requires minimal care once established. Clethra alnifolia — Sweet pepperbush Summersweet or sweet pepperbush has upright clusters of fragrant white flowers and lustrous dark green leaves that turn pale yellow to golden brown in fall. Its dried seedpods are an interesting addition to the winter garden. Cultivars with pinkish white to rosy flowers or variegated leaves are available. Cornus sericea — Red osier dogwood The intensely red stems of red osier dogwood are a striking garden feature in fall and winter. Its clusters of small white flowers mature into whitish fruits that attract birds. Best when grown in mass, this vigorous shrub will spread by underground stems.
