watering
This plant species should be watered every 7-10 days while the soil is still moist. Depending on the type of soil it is planted in and the environmental conditions, the amount of water needed for Ozark witch hazel varies. Generally, it should be watered to a depth of 1-2 inches. During periods of extreme heat, more frequent watering may be necessary, and during cold weather, watering should be reduced. It is important not to over-water as this can lead to root-rot. Additionally, water the base of the plant, avoiding getting the foliage wet.
sunlight
Ozark witch hazel (Hamamelis vernalis 'Kohankie Red') plants thrive in full or partial sun and are generally hardy in Zones 4-8. They prefer a location where they can receive around 4-6 hours of sunlight per day. This can be direct sunlight in the early morning and late afternoon with some shade during the mid-day hours when the sun is at its peak. The plant should be kept in bright, indirect sunlight all year long to ensure proper growth.
pruning
Ozark witch hazel should be pruned in early spring to promote growth of new stems and buds on the plant. To stimulate more abundant flowering, prune shoots back between 2 and 4 inches. Dead or overgrown branches should be removed to ensure an open and open-branching habit. Be sure to be mindful of not pruning any stems or twigs that are already blooming or carrying buds for the upcoming season.
