Pair of Loropetalum Black Pearl with Calista Planters

Chinese Witch Hazel - Spectacular firework-like flowers, striking all year-round foliage, easy to grow and winter hardy!

A plant for all seasons and all gardens, the Chinese Witch Hazel really is one of the most spectacular plants you can own! Quite a rarity in UK gardens, it's unlikely that your neighbours will have one, so you can be one of the first to grow it! Incredibly exotic looking this highly prized beauty is actually very hardy and easy to grow.

Its glorious, rich burgundy, oval shaped leaves contrast superbly against any green foliage and act as a dramatic backdrop to its spectacular vibrant pink flowers. Often likened to sea coral, the highly unusual ribbon-shaped petals explode from the centre just like a firework and completely smother the plant throughout late spring and early summer just when you need interest in your garden.

As spectacular in a pot on your patio as in any border, Chinese Witch Hazel requires nothing more than an occasional trim to keep it in perfect shape.

Perfect for planting in these simply stunning Vintage ‘Calista’ Planters.

Stylish and modern, the pattern gives an antique feel to the planter, making it a feature in its own right. Reproducing a classic pattern, this weather resistant, plastic planter is UV stable and will really last the test of time meaning you can use it year in, year out.

This stunning metallic-looking planter will add an exquisite decorative look to your home or garden, without the cost of real metal pots and being polypropylene, it is also light weight, so easier to pick up and move around when compared to metal or pottery containers.
