Description
Hamamelis intermedia 'Diane', often named the Witch Hazel, is a hardy bush with very distinctive flowering which appears as early as December, when the garden and flower beds are at rest. It brightens up the season with its garnet red filaments gathered in clusters on the bare stems. Its deciduous foliage also guarantees a spectacle in autumn, turning yellow and red. This beautiful variety has been rewarded with the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit.
Hamamelis is a bush that appreciates acidic soil with a tendency to be moist (it is best to avoid drying winds). It thrives in the sun, if it is not too scorching. Otherwise, a semi-shaded exposure is recommended (the flowering will be a bit less showy). Its slow growth allows it to be grown in a container when it is still young. You can thus enjoy its magnificent colours on the terrace or near entrances. In the long term (after about ten years in open ground), it can reach a size of 3 to 4m (10 to13ft). Its rounded and spreading habit fits well in hedges, but also forms beautiful centres to flower beds. It has oval, wide leaves that are a beautiful light green when young. They are also marked by raised veins that give them a crinkled appearance (like hazelnut trees). Later on, they spread out and take on different colours: medium green in summer, then yellow, brick, copper... as the days shorten. This is enhanced by being placed near evergreens to offer a varied palette. It flowers in winter which is its main attraction, bringing a touch of refinement and (apparent) fragility with small bouquets of red flowers on its still leafless stems. Composed of very narrow ribbons, 2-3cm (0.8 - 1.2in) long, gathered and tousled, it is very unique. To showcase it, several options are available to you: against the light, its flowers capture the sun through the dew and frost: in front of evergreen foliage, this pretty ruby hue stands out more easily.
Essential for brightening hedges or flower beds in autumn and winter, Hamamelis intermedia 'Diane' will thrive in most regions and does not require much attention. Place it near windows to admire its changing colours in autumn or at the back of the garden to encourage you to go out and witness its early flowering. You can cut some branches to decorate your interior.

Planting and care
To fully enjoy the beauty of your Hamamelis intermedia Diane, plant it near your house, standing out against a dark background of evergreen foliage. As it is sensitive to limestone, it should be grown in ericaceous soil, or at least in non-limestone soil enriched with leaf compost. Tip: Hamamelis are not fond of limestone soils, and they indicate this by yellowing leaves during summer and blooming less. To facilitate its growth, incorporate ericaceous soil during planting.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
