Description
Dwarf Fothergilla (Fothergilla gardenii and Fothergilla × intermedia ‘Mt. Airy’) is a deciduous ornamental shrub valued for its fragrant white spring flowers and exceptional multi-season interest, especially its vibrant fall color. It forms a compact, rounded habit with dense branching, making it ideal for foundation plantings, borders, woodland gardens, and mass plantings.
In early spring, the shrub produces bottlebrush-like white flowers with a light honey fragrance, appearing before or as leaves emerge. Summer foliage is blue-green and clean, providing a refined texture. In fall, leaves turn brilliant shades of orange, red, and yellow, often displaying multiple colors on the same plant.
