The Witch Hazel Hamamelis x intermedia ‘Diane’ is a red-flowered form with spreading branches. An early bloomer, you can find it now in Courtyard Garden 6 on the Medford Campus. This loosely-branched, deciduous shrub typically grows to 12-20′ tall. It is particularly noted for its spidery, often fragrant, mid- to late winter flowers which are in bloom now.
