Hamamelis are one of the earliest shrubs to flower each year and this year was no exception. We grow three -‘Jelena’, ‘Diane’ and a new one this year ‘Harry’, which are red, orange and yellow/orange respectively.
Here is a little gallery of them in bloom to cheer up the dullest day!










In previous gardens we have grown yellow varieties such as H. mollis, H. pallida or H. Arnold Promise, but in our current patch we have gone for richer shades.

The richer shades are enticing. They are indeed a cheerful boost for January.
Yes we go for these more dramatic colours.
Little fireworks in the winter dark.
Absolutely – they are so bright whatever the weather!
