Very small with short internodes, free flowering, Bronx Dwarf is small enough for the rock garden.
A Dirr selection from the Mt Airy Arboretum and arguably the finest of all Fothergilla cultivars, with good blue green foliage, consistent kaleidoscopic purple red orange yellow fall color and honey scented white bottlebrush flowers up to 2 long produced for a month or so in spring, even after 25°F winters.
While it will tolerate anything from full sun to rather deep shade its fall color and floral display is at it best in moist acid soil in full sun.
