This unusual and resilient deciduous shrub has the most amazing twisted stems and branches earning it the common name corkscrew hazel. In summer the branches bear a tangle of broadly ovate green leaves, occasionally followed later by nuts. In late winter and early spring a mass of weeping yellow catkins unfurl. A slow growing shrub, it will reach around 1.8-2m after ten years.
A great architectural plant and an ideal choice for creating a wildlife garden attracting moths, butterflies and a variety of insects as well as birds and squirrels. This curious variety has gained the RHS Award of Garden Merit, where it will make a feature piece when planted in patio containers or garden borders.
Plant in any well drained and fertile soil, preferably in full sun or slight shade.
Prune annually following flowering to help remove any shoots/branches that may cause future harm.
