Our Hamamelis ‘Arnold Promise’ is blooming and quite fragrant this week. This dependable late February bloomer reminds us of what is around the corner. It’s time to cut back your perennial garden in preparation for spring! We highly recommend this deciduous, medium size flowering shrub for your front garden.
As one of our favorites among the woody plants, the hybrid Chinese witch hazel ‘Arnold Promise’ flowers dependably for about a month from February to March. The bright bursts of highly fragrant tiny yellow blossoms will remind you of sunnier days ahead. Planted in sun or partial shade, it’s excellent in woodland gardens.


We love this plant in Oregon as well. Thanks for reminding everyone about this excellent plant.
