Description
Hamamilis mollis, Chinese Witch-hazel, is a beautiful shrub that lights up the winter landscape and perfumes the air with its unmistable sweet, spicy fragrance.
The name Witch has its origins in Middle English wiche, from the Old English wice, meaning "pliant" or "bendable". Hazel is derived from the use of the twigs as divining rods, just as hazel twigs were used in England.
In German : Chinesische Zaubernuss
