Witch Hazel Seedlings for Sale: Hedges, Streambanks and Restoration
Our witch hazel seedlings for sale suit large plantings, and their roots tolerate damp soil, so they do well along streambanks, at woodland edges, and restoration sites. Clear weeds from the planting spots, and set seedlings 4 to 6 feet apart for a dense hedge, or about 8 to 10 feet apart if you need them to spread. Young seedlings put their first few years into root growth, so give them a few seasons before you expect flowers. This plant ships bare root and dormant, so plant your seedlings as soon as they arrive.
