Feathery flowered Fothergilla Blue Shadow

Feathery flowered Fothergilla Blue Shadow

What a fabulous plant Fothergilla is. 

Fothergilla x intermedia Blue Shadow.  Creamy - white, scented, feathery flowerheads are freely borne in late spring when the rounded leaves start to emerge which mature to a subtle blue-green in summer and then in the autumn, a burning blaze of red, yellow and orange foliage before falling.

Compact in height and spread reaching a maximum of 1m.  It does like an acidic soil in a rich humus-rich soil.  Great for sun to partial shade.

From bud, to full flower, to full foliage to autumn colour.  What is not to like?
