Fothergilla Blue Shadow

Description

Plant description

A proven showstopper, this new plant is a branch sport of Mike Dirr’s strong growing selection Fothergilla major ‘Mount Airy’. Like all Fothergilla it is adorned with honey-scented, bottlebrush flowers in early spring before it leafs out. But what sets this outstanding plant apart from the rest is its colorful, silvery blue leaves. In the autumn the blue foliage transforms to shades of rich red, orange and yellow. Discovered by Gary Handy of Handy Nursery in Boring, Oregon.
