Plant Combo with Strong Winter Interest

The winter blooming witch hazel (Hamamelis x 'Jelena') is the star of this show. In winter, when we need it most, she delivers vivid orange, fragrant blooms clustered on bare branch. She delivers in other seasons as well with her pleasing form and good fall color. Geranium 'Rozanne' offers a generous display of summertime blooms of blue and the other players provide evergreen foliage in a variety of texture, color, and form.
