What a treat it is to discover American Witch Hazel blooming in late fall! This quirky, nonconforming native Accent waits until October and November to unfurl its blossoms. The flowers, composed of four narrow petals, look like wee yellow streamers, and they smell like sweet tea. American Witch Hazel is a fun plant to include in your bird-friendly habitat garden. Its foliage hosts a variety of moth larvae, which in turn nourish songbirds (and their chicks), and its twiggy, herringbone framework makes a super nesting site for thicket-dwelling birds like flycatchers, wood thrushes, and Indigo Buntings.

Bower & Branch is proud to grow Audubon® Native Plants for Birds in partnership with the National Audubon Society to help birds and other wildlife thrive. Your purchase and planting of this native flora directly supports Audubon’s conservation mission and impact.
