Legend of the Fall® Fothergilla 1 Live Shrub – Fothergilla × intermedia – 2 Gallon Pot

Legend of the Fall® Fothergilla, also known as Legend of the Fall® Bottlebrush, is a deciduous ornamental shrub admired for its spectacular autumn foliage and distinctive spring flowers. In spring, fragrant white, bottlebrush-like flower spikes emerge along the branches, providing seasonal interest before or alongside the developing foliage.

This Proven Winners® selection is particularly valued for its brilliant autumn display, with foliage developing vivid shades of red, orange, yellow, and burgundy. During summer, its attractive green leaves create a lush appearance, while its naturally rounded, branching habit adds texture to garden landscapes. After leaf drop, the woody branching structure remains visible through winter.

Legend of the Fall® Fothergilla is suitable for woodland gardens, mixed shrub borders, foundation plantings, and naturalistic landscapes. It tolerates partial shade and can perform well in warm climates when provided with suitable soil moisture. This listing includes one live Legend of the Fall® Fothergilla in a 2 gallon nursery pot.
