Description
Hamamelis x intermedia 'Ruby Glow', often nicknamed Witch Hazel, is a hardy bush with a very unique flowering. This appears at a time when the garden and flower beds are at rest and often bare, starting in January. It brightens up the season with its clusters of red filaments on naked stems. Its deciduous foliage also guarantees a spectacle in autumn, turning yellow and red, showcasing all these warm shades that ignite hedges.
Hamamelis is a bush that appreciates acidic soil with a fresh tendency (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 (of course, the flowering will be more discreet). Its slow growth allows it to be grown in a container when young. You can enjoy its magnificent colours on the terrace or near entrances. In the long run (after about ten years in open ground), it can reach a span of 3 to 4 metres. Its habit, rather rounded and spreading, fits well in hedges, but also forms beautiful focal points in flower beds. It has oval, wide leaves that are a beautiful light green when young. They are also marked by beautiful raised veins that give them a crumpled appearance (like hazel trees). Later on, they spread out and take on different colours: medium green in summer, then yellow, brick, copper... as the days shorten. It is then enhanced by being placed near evergreens to offer a varied palette. Its flowering occurs in winter. This is its main asset. It brings a touch of refinement and (apparent) fragility with small clusters of red flowers on its leafless stems. Composed of very narrow ribbons, 2-3cm (0.8 - 1.2in) long, gathered and tousled, it is very original. To highlight it, there are several possibilities. Backlit, its flowers capture the sunlight through dew and frost. And in front of evergreen foliage, this lovely ruby hue stands out more easily.
Indispensable for animating hedges or flower beds in autumn and winter, the Hamamelis x intermedia 'Ruby Glow' will thrive in most of our 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 then take some branches to decorate your interior.

Planting and care
Hamamelis x intermedia 'Ruby Glow' thrives in full sun (not scorching) or partial shade and in soil that tends to be rather acidic and moist. It is preferable to avoid strong winds that could dry it out.
Being sensitive to limestone, it should be grown in heath soil, or at least in non-limestone soil enriched with leaf compost. If the foliage turns yellow and the flowering becomes less prominent, it means that the soil is too alkaline for its taste.
To fully enjoy the beauty and fragrance of your Hamamelis, plant it near the house so that it stands out against a dark background of evergreen foliage.
Pruning is not essential for its development, it simply allows for thinning it out in the center after a few years or shaping its appearance.

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.
