Mt. Airy Fothergilla 1 Live Shrub – Fothergilla × intermedia ‘Mt. Airy’ – 3 Gallon Pot

Mt. Airy Fothergilla (Fothergilla × intermedia ‘Mt. Airy’) is a deciduous ornamental shrub valued for its exceptional four-season landscape interest. In spring, fragrant white, bottlebrush-like flower spikes emerge along the branches, often before or alongside the developing leaves. These delicate flowers provide early-season ornamental interest and may attract visiting pollinators.

Throughout summer, this shrub displays attractive green to blue-green foliage and a dense, rounded branching habit. As autumn approaches, the leaves develop vivid shades of yellow, orange, red, and burgundy. After the foliage drops, the natural branching structure adds texture and visual interest to the winter landscape.

This listing includes one live Mt. Airy Fothergilla in a 3 gallon nursery pot. Approx. 12 inches tall at time of shipping. It generally prefers full sun to partial shade and acidic, organically rich, moist, well-drained soil. Its multi-season ornamental qualities make it suitable for woodland gardens, mixed shrub borders, foundation plantings, and naturalistic landscapes.
