How to grow the Witch Hazel

Witch Hazel can grow in either alkaline or acid soils, but will do best in a more neutral soil. 

 

Planting

  • Flower production is immune to cold but plants do need sheltered sun. Wind can be fatal; at any rate it will carry away the scent. Hardy to zones 5-8.

  • Good soil moisture in summer is more important than levels of acidity (it generally prefers neutral to acid). However, Hamamelis doesn’t like to be waterlogged and needs good drainage. Conserve moisture through mulching.

  • Be patient: witch hazels take a while to settle in and won’t grow much for the first few years. Expect 10 feet or slightly more after 10 to 20 years.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              https://www.gardendesign.com/plants/witch-hazel.html
