Mount Airy Dwarf Fothergilla Bottlebrush

Fothergilla major 'Mount Airy'

Dwarf Fothergilla Bottlebrush

Currently unavailable

Airy clouds of white, bottlebrush shaped flowers fragrance the air in spring. Leathery blue-green foliage turns admirable shades of yellow, orange, and red in fall. The best flowering occurs in full sun locations, but the plant will also thrive in shade, just with markedly fewer flowers and less of a color show in fall. Great as a hedge or border with no notable disease or pest issues.
