Dwarf fothergilla are great plants for the Chicagoland landscape. They look great and add interest for all four seasons.

Fothergilla have creamy white bottle brush type flowers in mid-spring (April-May). They have a strong honey scent that can be enjoyed when planted by walks and entrances. Beaver Creek variety grows to about 3-4′ high and wide. They prefer well drained soil and grow best in full sun-part shade. Leaves in the summer are a medium green color and the plant has a nice rounded, yet open branching structure. Dwarf Fothergilla puts on a spectacular show in the fall with leaves changing to purple, orange, scarlet and yellow. They are a great plant to add color throughout the year.
