Description

Mount Airy Fothergilla is a beautiful and very easy to grow North American native flowering shrub that produces loads of honey-scented pure-white, bottlebrush-like flower spikes at the ends of almost every branch in spring. After flowering, handsome, leathery, blue-green leaves emerge on the upright shrub that persist through summer becoming brilliant shades of gold, orange, purple and red in fall. Excellent near garden ponds or other bodies of water in sun or part shade.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 4 to 5 feet tall and 3 to 4 foot wide, Mount Airy Fothergilla is ideal for use as a specimen or in groupings in landscape, flowering shrub and woodland borders, and in home foundation plantings. Especially nice near the garden pond or other bodies of water and a fine addition to North American native plant gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 4 feet apart for solid borders; 8 feet apart for space between plants

Growing Preferences

Mount Airy Fothergilla is very easy to grow and virtually maintenance free when planted right and in the right spot. It prefers a moist but well-drained acidic soil of average to high fertility and sun or part shade.
