Hamamelis mollis 'Pallida'
Common Name: 'Pallida' Witchhazel
Hamamelis mollis ‘Pallida’ is a deciduous shrub valued for its large, fragrant, pale yellow winter flowers and strong garden presence. Broad green leaves emerge in spring, create a dense canopy through summer, and turn rich yellow in fall, while clusters of long, ribbon-like flowers appear in mid to late winter on bare branches, filling the air with a sweet fragrance.
