Description
The Hamamelis x intermedia 'Cyrille' is a selection of the Witch Hazel bush that is characterised by a beautiful spreading habit and a bicoloured flowering, straw yellow and rust. This deciduous bush has foliage reminiscent of hazelnut, with a slightly bright yellowish green colour, but does not display notable autumn colours. It will charm with its original flowers, which have a slight honey fragrance and appear from the end of winter. Witch Hazels are key elements in a winter scene in the garden.
The Hamamelis x intermedia 'Cyrille' is a Belgian horticultural creation by De Belder dating back to 2002. It is part of a group of hybrids resulting from the cross-breeding between Hamamelis japonica and H. mollis, which originate respectively from Japan and China. All these plants belong to the family Hamamelidaceae, which also includes Loropetalum and Persian Ironwood, for example. The 'Cyrille' variety forms a large bush, with an initially upright habit that then spreads and has ascending branches, reaching generally 3 m in all directions. Its deciduous foliage is composed of ovate leaves, initially yellowish green in spring, becoming medium green in summer, and turning yellow in autumn before falling. Its slightly fragrant flowers abound on the bare branches during the months of February or March, depending on the climate. Each flower is composed of numerous straw yellow petals with a rust base, elongated and curiously crumpled, almost claw-like like witch's fingers.
The Hamamelis intermedia 'Cyrille' thrives in humus-rich, slightly moist, light soils that are low in limestone. It will thrive in a bright semi-shaded exposure. Plant it as a standalone specimen in a small garden or plant snowdrops, spring crocuses, hellebores, and winter heathers around it, for example. It will also be magnificent in a shrub border, paired with an autumn camellia or a large rhododendron.

Planting and care
To fully enjoy the beauty of your Hamamelis intermedia 'Cyrille', plant it near the house so that it stands out against a dark background of evergreen foliage. A sunny location in winter and a partially shaded spot protected by a wall or deciduous trees for the rest of the year would be preferred over scorching sun. Being sensitive to limestone, it should be grown in ericaceous soil, or at least in non-limestone soil enriched with leaf compost. Tip: Hamamelis plants dislike limestone soils, which they indicate by the summer yellowing of their leaves and reduced flowering. To facilitate their establishment, incorporate ericaceous soil during planting. The soil should remain slightly moist in summer. Mulching around the base of the plant will help maintain moisture. A sufficiently deep and humus-bearing soil, even on limestone subsoil, should not hinder the growth of the hamamelis.

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.
