Description

Hamamelis x intermedia 'Jelena' is one of the very best Witch Hazels, renowned for its abundance of orange winter flowers and worthy of its RHS Award of Garden Merit. It's a glorious display and the flowers also release a subtle citrusy perfume.

Earlier in the year, the large green leaves of Hamamelis x intermedia 'Jelena' transform to stunning shades of orange and red for a fabulous autumn display. Once the leaves have fallen, you are left with a beautiful architectural wide vase form on which the profusion of orange flowers are borne in January – February.

Expect a height and spread of 4 x 4 metres in 20 years from this Orange Witch Hazel shrub. Hamamelis 'Jelena' will tolerate some exposure and should be planted in full sun or partial shade. A well drained to moist but well drained soil with an acidic-neutral pH is preferred. Hamamelis are also great value to wildlife. 'Jelena' was named in the 1950's by plant breeder Robert de Belder for his wife.

Planting Steps

1Preparation

Pot-grown plants can be planted at any time of year, whereas bare roots need to be planted between November and March.
Clear weeds and grass within a metre of the planting hole.
Dig a hole as deep as the root mass and twice as wide.
To help your plant establish more effectively, sprinkle Rootgrow in the hole.

2Planting

Gently loosen the roots and place into the planting hole.
Ensure the top of the plant's compost is flush with the level of the surrounding soil and the graft union or collar of the tree is above ground level.
Mix 50% of the original soil with 50% compost.
Fill in the hole, firming the soil gently.

3Last Steps

Water generously around the base of the plant.
If you are planting either a single stem tree or mature standard tree, we recommend adding a staking kit and rabbit guard.

Aftercare Advice

Trees and shrubs require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.
