The Copper Beauty Witch Hazel is a charming shrub that sets flowers at a time when most plants are dormant. The flowers of the Hamamelis x int. ‘Copper Beauty' have thin, coppery-orange petals that give the blooms a frilly appearance. The flowers bloom in late winter before the foliage appears, which further helps the flowers stand out and make a showy statement in a stark late winter landscape.
This woody shrub has a well-branched form, giving it a tree-like appearance and a woodland feel. Use the Copper Beauty Witch Hazel as a hedge to create privacy or define a space. Plant this shrub near a door or outdoor seating area to enjoy the fragrant flowers. This cultivar is a slow grower, but it is worth the wait. Grow the Copper Beauty Witch Hazel in zones 5 through 8.
Copper Beauty Witch Hazel Care
Copper Beauty Witch Hazel blooms best when grown in full sun. Plant this shrub in fertile, moist, but well-drained soil. Water new plants consistently for the first growing season, but established plants only need water during a dry spell. A light dose of fertilizer in the spring keeps this shrub growing and thriving.
Remove suckers to direct energy into new growth. Shape the Copper Beauty Witch Hazel as needed in the spring after the flowers fade.
Copper Beauty Witch Hazel Spacing
The Copper Beauty Witch Hazel stands 8 to 12 feet tall and wide. Space shrubs 7 feet apart to create a continuous planting.

?
"Blooms on" tells you which stems produce flowers, which decides when it's safe to prune.
- New Wood: Flowers form on stems that grow this season. Prune in late winter or early spring without losing blooms.
- Old Wood: Flower buds form on last year's stems. Prune right after flowering. Pruning in fall or early spring removes next year's blooms.
- Both New and Old Wood: Blooms on last year's stems and again on new growth, so it flowers even after a hard winter or a mistimed pruning. Prune lightly after the first flush of blooms.
