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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I consider when I buy witch hazel seedlings in bulk?

When buying witch hazel seedlings in bulk, consider your planting space, soil moisture, sunlight, and the mature size of the shrubs. Larger quantities work well for native hedges, woodland borders, wildlife plantings, and restoration projects.

Why grow witch hazel seedlings?

Witch hazel brings color to the garden in the months when little else does. Its fragrant yellow flowers appear in fall, while its leaves turn yellow before dropping. The seeds also provide food for wild turkeys and small mammals.

What soil does witch hazel need?

Witch hazel prefers moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil. It adapts to clay and does well in organic soil near woodland edges. On sandy sites, provide additional water during dry periods to prevent the roots from drying out.

Where should I plant witch hazel?

Plant witch hazel in full sun to partial shade, preferably where the soil stays moist but drains well. Woodland edges, native borders, hedges, and areas near paths are good choices where its fall flowers can be enjoyed.

How do you plant bare-root witch hazel seedlings?

Plant bare-root seedlings soon after they arrive, any time from November to April while they are dormant and the ground is workable. Soak the roots in water for about an hour.

How do you care for young witch hazel?

Water weekly through the first growing season whenever rain falls short, and during dry spells after that. A 2- to 3-inch layer of mulch helps retain moisture and control weeds. Keep mulch away from the stems, and prune only when needed.
