WITCH ALDER 'BLUE SHADOW'

Blue ShadowIvory white flowers are 1 to 2" long, honey scented, and appear in feather like filaments at the ends of the branches in April-May. Summer foliage is an icy bluish-green. An outstanding autumn display of rich yellow, red and orange lasts several weeks, usually coming on in late October to November. Blue Shadow is a medium-size deciduous shrub 5 to 6' high and wide and easily adapts to sun or partial shade. It is tolerant to a wide range of soil and environmental conditions, needs little pruning and has no major disease or insect problems. This exciting new introduction originated as a branch sport from Fothergilla major 'Mt. Airy' and is blessed with the same vigorous constitution and well-structured habit. .
