(Beaver Creek® Fothergilla, Dwarf Fothergilla, Dwarf Witchalder)

In small gardens where space is limited, consider growing Beaver Creek dwarf fothergilla. Developed by plant hybridizer Roy Klehm, it is one of the most compact selections available and matures to around mid-thigh height. Its lovely blue-green foliage is very dense and turns shades of red, yellow and orange in fall. Its sweetly scented spring flowers cover the uniform shrub in spring before the leaves emerge.

A slow-growing deciduous shrub with rounded leaves, dwarf fothergilla is a native...

Many cultivars produce only one crop a year in late spring and early summer, but everbearing cultivars continue fruiting through summer...
