Growing approximately 2-3 feet tall and wide, it forms a dense, rounded mound that provides the multi-season interest of larger Fothergilla varieties in a much smaller package. In spring, fragrant white, bottlebrush-like flowers appear above the foliage, creating an attractive early-season display and drawing pollinators to the landscape.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThroughout summer, its tidy green to blue-green foliage provides attractive texture before developing brilliant shades of yellow, orange, red, and burgundy in fall.
