Decorative ornamental plant for the whole garden year
Without a doubt, this shrub is something for lovers of special woody plants: Whether spring, summer, autumn or winter – the corkscrew hazel is a decorative sight all year round. This ornamental shrub is very popular in winter, when its uniquely shaped branches are particularly striking. Corkscrew-like twisted branches are a unique eye-catcher. Green foliage with an attractive golden hue in autumn. Hardy and deciduous. Greenish-yellow catkins in March and April provide food for bees and insects. Nuts in September and October provide food for rodents. How to care for your Corkscrew Hazel: The Corkscrew Hazel thrives in both humus-rich garden soil and containers. High-quality potting soil should be used for container plants. The Corkscrew Hazel prefers a sunny to partially shaded location. The plant is undemanding and only needs moderate water. However, good drainage is necessary for lush growth. In spring, you can strengthen your hazelnut bush by fertilizing it with tree, shrub, or hedge fertilizer. The nuts of the corkscrew hazel are edible for humans, but not particularly tasty. However, you can delight squirrels with them. The curled branches are ideal for use as natural decorations. Create an extravagant eye-catcher with your new corkscrew hazel 'Kringel Dich!'.
