Blue Mist Fothergilla is a slow-growing compact deciduous shrub with an upright mounding habit. The thick foliage foliage emerges green and quickly earns a frosty blue overtone before turning to yellow, orange, and red for fall. Fragrant white bottlebrush-like spikes bloom through spring before the foliage emerges. Blooms best in rich, moist well-drained acidic soils.
Fothergilla is a native pollinator that provides nectar for several species of butterflies and bees.
