Planting

From Mid Autumn TO Late Autumn

Plant out container grown plants in Autumn in a growing site which is fertile. They do not like soil that is too shallow, or holds water. They will need watering through the first year to allow them to establish.

Propagating

From Late Spring TO Early Summer

Propagating witch hazels at home is difficult. Commercially they are usually propagated by grafting, and although they can be propagated by softwood cuttings, it is difficult to get them to root
