Witch Hazel Seeds - Herbal Plant

Witch hazel is a deciduous shrub known for its upright to spreading growth and broad, oval leaves. It develops woody stems and produces small, strap-like flowers during its flowering period. This plant grows well in temperate climates and performs best in full sun to partial shade with well-drained, fertile soil. Witch hazel establishes gradually and is suitable for garden beds, borders, and naturalized planting, where it can develop into a long-lived shrub.
