Dwarf Fothergilla 1 Live Shrub – Fothergilla gardenii – 2 Gallon Pot

Dwarf Fothergilla (Fothergilla gardenii) is a compact, deciduous flowering shrub native to the southeastern United States. It is admired for its fragrant, creamy-white, bottlebrush-shaped flowers that appear in spring, often before or as the leaves emerge. The soft, fluffy-looking blooms provide an attractive contrast to the plant's developing foliage and add seasonal interest to woodland gardens, shrub borders, and naturalistic landscapes.

Throughout the growing season, Dwarf Fothergilla displays rounded, blue-green to green leaves on a dense, rounded shrub. In autumn, the foliage develops a colorful combination of yellow, orange, and red tones, making this species particularly attractive in landscapes designed for multiple seasons of interest. Its naturally compact growth habit suits foundation plantings, mixed perennial borders, native plant gardens, and woodland edges.

This listing includes one live Dwarf Fothergilla in a 2 gallon nursery pot. The plant generally performs best in full sun to partial shade and prefers acidic, organically rich, moist but well-drained soil. As a deciduous shrub, it may arrive dormant, leafless, or recently pruned depending on the season.
