Renee Variegated Witch Hazel is the kind of plant that feels like a secret you're lucky to know. Just when the landscape is all twigs and gray skies, it throws out bright orange, spidery blooms that look like little fireworks caught in slow motion. The fragrance is lightly sweet and "warm" in that classic witch hazel way: subtle, but noticeable when you pass by. It's a winter-blooming shrub that makes the off-season feel intentional, not empty. If you've ever wished your garden had a winter centerpiece, this is a strong candidate.
Once spring arrives, Renee Variegated Witch Hazel keeps performing, this time with her foliage. The leaves emerge with a creamy, green-on-green variegation that adds brightness without screaming for attention. It's especially striking near evergreens, dark mulch, brick, stone, or anything that gives the leaves a contrasting backdrop. Over time, the branching structure becomes attractive on its own, giving you a layered, architectural look even when it's leafless. For shoppers hunting "rare" or "collector" plants, this is the kind of witch hazel that earns that label honestly.
Renee Variegated Witch Hazel is a hybrid witch hazel (Hamamelis x intermedia), valued for reliable cold-season bloom and strong garden presence. It prefers a spot where you'll actually see it in winter, and near a walkway, window, entry, or patio view line make a perfect location. Give it good drainage, steady moisture while establishing, and a little patience, and it becomes a long-term garden investment. It's not a fussy diva, but it does reward thoughtful placement and minimal meddling. In other words: plant it right, then let it quietly become the star.

RENEE VARIEGATED WITCH HAZEL Homeowner Growing & Maintenance Tips
- Recommended Soil:
- Best in rich, well-drained soil that holds moisture but never stays soggy.
- Slightly acidic to neutral soil is ideal; amend heavy clay with compost and pine bark fines.
- Mulch 2–3 inches to moderate temperature swings and protect shallow feeder roots.
- Excellent shrub for raised beds or gently sloped sites where water won't pool.
- Sun Exposure:
- Full sun to part shade; more sun generally means better flowering and denser growth.
- In hotter areas, afternoon shade helps keep foliage crisp and reduces stress.
- Place where winter blooms are visible—near paths, windows, or entry plantings.
- Shelter from harsh winter winds for best bud retention and bloom quality.
- Irrigation Needs:
- Water regularly the first growing season; keep soil consistently damp, not saturated.
- Once established, it's moderately drought tolerant, but looks best with occasional deep watering.
- During summer heat, prioritize deep soakings over frequent light sprinkling.
- Avoid overhead watering late in the day to keep foliage healthier.
- Feeding & Nutrients:
- Top-dress with compost in spring to support steady, natural growth.
- Use a balanced, slow-release shrub fertilizer in early spring if growth is weak.
- Skip heavy nitrogen—too much can reduce flowering and create soft, floppy growth.
- Maintain mulch and organic matter to help with long-term nutrient cycling.
- Pruning & Maintenance:
- Prune lightly right after flowering to shape and remove any awkward crossing stems.
- Remove dead, damaged, or rubbing branches any time you notice them.
- Avoid hard pruning in fall or winter—this can remove developing flower buds.
- Keep the base mulched and weed-free to reduce competition and stress.
