What a great plant Fothergilla is! Also know as Witch Alder, Fothergilla is a native plant that does well in a mixed shrub border, in a foundation planting or in mass groupings in the residential landscape. The variety pictured here is called 'Blue Shadow', or Fothergilla major 'Blue Shadow'. Its honey-scented, cute white flowers come out in mid-to late April atop bluish-green leaves. This rounded, multi-stemmed shrub turns a stunning colors of red, orange and yellow in the Fall and lasts for weeks. Ultimately topping out at 3 - 5' high by 4 - 5' wide, it is an excellent addition to the home landscape!!
