Hamamelis virginiana, commonly known as Common Witch-hazel, is a deciduous shrub native to North America. It is renowned for its unique, fragrant yellow flowers that bloom in late fall, often after the leaves have fallen. This plant is a popular choice for adding late-season interest to gardens and landscapes.
