Corylopsis spicata

Spike Winter Hazel

In March, masses of hanging tassels of sweet-smelling yellow flowers appear on bare branches. The Witch Hazel-like leaves change color in autumn. These plants are slow-growing and their heights vary from 3 to 13 feet. Prefer neutral or acid soils. Plant in a sheltered area in light shade to prevent frost damage to flowers. Remove dead branches after flowering. Water regularly during growing and blooming season, less at other times.

This wide-spreading shrub forms a mass of crooked, flexible branches with age. New leaves are rich purple, turning bluish green with maturity. Medium-sized at 4 to 6 feet tall and 6 to 10 feet wide.
