The fall color is spectacular, a scintillating mixture of yellow, red
and orange. Fothergilla is adaptable to a variety of light and soil
conditions but produces the best flowers and fall foliage in full sun
and well drained, organic soils.
Fothergilla major typically grows 6-10 ft tall and wide; it is useful
in shrub borders, perennial borders and mixed plantings.
Fothergilla gardenia grows to about 3-4’ tall and makes an efficient
foundation planting where true dwarf height is required.
Hardy in zones 4-8
