Fothergilla gardenii 'Mt. Airy'

Dwarf Fothergilla

Two white flowering shrubs from the eastern United States. One is a 3 to 4 foot spreader, the other grows to 9 feet tall. Their leaves offer excellent orange and scarlet fall color. Honey-scented, bottle-brush shaped blooms open before leaves develop, creating a dramatic spring show. In hot, dry summer climates, needs partial shade and extra water. Plant in peaty soil.

Lowest-growing of the Fothergillas, this tall plant has deeper blue-green leaves, larger, 1-inch-long flower clusters, and better fall color.
