***************
▶ Fothergilla gardenii — also known by the common names witch alder, dwarf fothergilla, American wych hazel, and dwarf witchalder— is a deciduous shrub, in the Hamamelidaceae family, growing to at most 3 feet high (0.9m), native to the southeastern USA, from North Carolina to Alabama. In early spring, witch alder produces cylindrical spikes of up 1.5 inches (4 cm) before the leaves emerge, topped with small, white, petal-less, highly fragrant flowers composed of 1-inch-long filaments (2.5 cm). In autumn the leaves produce striking colors, including bright red, crimson, orange, and yellow.
