Hamamelis virginiana ‘Phantasm’ Phantasm Common Witch Hazel

A new cultivar that we’ve recently added to the collection. This past fall, plants bloomed prolifically with masses of saturated yellow blossoms. Flowers were several shades darker than ‘Harvest Moon’ with petals a bit narrower and more crimped. The strong growing plants were dressed from head to toe with flowers which peaked a week or two ahead of the typical ‘Harvest Moon’ show. Ultimate size is still unknown though we expect plants to mature much like the straight species. We’re excited to add this selection to the garden and lay in wait to see if the outstanding display from this past fall is replicated each year.
