Sprinter! That rousing, exhilarating season between winter and spring, when the ground begins to thaw and we dream of warmer days just around the corner. Vernal Witch Hazel kicks things off with its funny little yellow, peach, or brick-red flowers—the first blooms of the year on any native plant in most of the eastern U.S. On mild days the flowers give off a gentle, spicy-sweet scent. Vernal Witch Hazel is a must-have for the pollinator garden, as it will offer something to the earliest-emerging insects looking for fuel. Its foliage also feeds many species of caterpillars, so it’s great for insectivorous songbirds, too.
