Pictured here is a fabulous fall foliage shrub that is also a native to our area...New England in particular. Fothergilla major 'Mt. Airy' achieves a mature height of 5-6' high x 3-4' wide and so it fits nicely into most landscapes, even the smallest of properties!
During the growing season, it's foliage is a cool dark bluish-green, bearing white cone-like flowers in Spring. This amazing plant, as you can see, turns a striking combination of yellow, orange and red through Fall. It is still bearing leaves in early November and generally starts to turn in early to mid-October! Deer resistant and tolerant of most soils.
