Fothergilla gardenii
dwarf witch-alder
Though not native to New England, Fothergilla gardenii has been an important part of many native gardens for many years, and with good reason. Fragrant white flowers bloom in early spring, attracting a myriad of native insects, and the fall color is some of the best that any shrub can offer.
