Hamamelis intermedia 'Savill Starlight'
The witch hazel (Hamamelis intermedia 'Savill Starlight') is an amazing plant species because it has beautiful star-shaped blooms with a unique yellow-cream hue and star patterned petals. It produces a very fragrant flower scent that attracts pollinators and its star-like shape and bright coloration gives it added ornamental value for use as a hedge or screen, in a shady border, border planting or woodland garden. It's easy to prune and maintain and will tolerate light shade and most soils. Its glossy foliage also offers a spectacular silhouette of purple-red when the autumn season arrives. The witch hazel is a truly remarkable living ornament and an attractive, eco-friendly way to bring your garden to life.

watering
This species of witch hazel requires little water, however, it should be watered regularly. Give it a good soaking every 7-10 days in spring and summer, and every 10-14 days during fall and winter. When watering, ensure the soil feels evenly moist, but not soggy. Keep in mind that in warmer climates, this plant may require more frequent watering during late summer. During the winter months, water sparingly and allow the soil to become slightly dry between waterings.
sunlight
Witch hazel (Hamamelis intermedia 'Savill Starlight') prefers full sun but can also tolerate partial shade. Sunlight should be available for 5 to 6 hours per day, with shade in the late afternoon. This can be provided either through direct sun exposure or through filtered, dappled light. During the hotter months, plants should be located in a location where they will receive shade for part of the day.
pruning
Witch hazel should be pruned during its dormancy period, which is typically late winter or early spring. The best time to prune is when the buds of the plant are just beginning to swell in preparation for the start of the growing season. Pruning should be done moderately, removing no more than 1-third of the previous season’s growth at 1 time. Light trimming of the plant can also be done in the summer to remove leggy growth and maintain shape.
