Virginia's Plant Pick for October







Hamamellis 'Girard's Purple' (Girard's Purple witchhazel) not only has intense maroon red fall color but has interestingly scalloped leaves and beautiful crimson blooms in early spring when not much else is happening in the garden. This witchhazel can take sun or shade (although foliage coloring and flowering is probably best in more sun). These photos are taken at the OSU Chadwick Arboretum and Learning Gardens.
