Witch-hazel

Witch-hazel belongs to a family of flowering shrubs and trees notable for their distinctive strap-shaped petals and often fragrant blossoms. These plants flourish in temperate regions, displaying their blooms typically in late winter to early spring, a strategy that avoids competition with more dominant spring-flowering plants. The foliage of witch-hazel often turns vibrant colors in the fall, contributing to its ornamental value.
