Arrivée en bon état, la cep est un peu petite mais semble saine. Plantée dès réception, il n’y a plus qu’à attendre la reprise. J’ai hâte de découvrir les flowers en fin d’hiver.

Description
Hamamelis x intermedia 'Feuerzauber' stands out from other hybrid witch hazels with its strangely flared habit that resembles the shape of a large cup when the bush is mature. Its fragrant flowering is a little later than other varieties. It bursts to life in an astonishing spicy colour, which is a mix of coppery-orange suffused with red and tinged with purple at the base. Its autumn foliage is also remarkable, taking on sumptuous shades of orange, yellow, and red, sometimes with a purple-violet hue. This beautiful variety brightens up autumn and signals the end of gloomy days. Plant it alongside other winter-flowering bushes to create a timeless tableau.
Hamamelis x intermedia 'Feuerzauber' is a horticultural variety obtained in Germany around 1958. It belongs to a group of cultivars resulting from the cross-breeding between H. japonica and H. mollis, originating respectively from Japan and China. All these plants belong to the Hamamelidaceae family, among which we find loropetalum, liquidambar, and Persian parrotia, which invariably adorn themselves with fantastically coloured foliage. 'Feuerzauber' slowly forms a large, vigorous bush, with an upright habit during its youth, then spreading and with ascending branches, reaching a height and width of 3.5m (12ft) at maturity. Its deciduous foliage is composed of ovate leaves. They are initially yellowish-green with bronze reflections in spring, becoming dark green in summer, and then turning coppery-orange and red with green or purple areas in autumn, filling the garden with warm tones. Its slightly fragrant flowers are just as delightful as its colourful foliage. They appear in abundance on bare branches during February and March, composed of numerous elongated and curiously wrinkled petals, almost clawed like witch's fingers.
Hamamelis x intermedia 'Feuerzauber' likes humus-rich, limestone-poor, moist, and light soils. A semi-shaded exposure will suit it perfectly. Plant it on the edge of woodland, under large trees, or at the back of a border alongside heucheras, daphnes, and sarcococca. It will also be magnificent in a flower bed, alongside evergreen shrubs such as an autumn camellia or Chimonanthus praecox. At its base, you can plant winter heathers or hellebores, for example.

Planting and care
To fully enjoy the beauty of Hamamelis x intermedia 'Feuerzauber', plant it near the house, so that it stands out against a dark background of evergreen foliage. A partially shaded exposure is preferred over scorching sun. Being intolerant to limestone, it should be grown in ericaceous soil, or at least in non-limestone soil enriched with leaf compost. If planted in limestone soil, it will not flower as well and its foliage will turn yellow in summer. To facilitate its establishment, incorporate ericaceous soil during planting. The soil should remain moist, even in summer. Mulching around the plant will help maintain moisture. Sufficiently deep and humus-rich soil, even in limestone subsoil, should not hinder its growth.

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.
