Difficult from seed sown at 50-60F/10-15C; germination is erratic and can take several seasons. May sow seed in fall, when ripe, into a protected location, or may be treated for double dormancy indoors. Alternatively, grow from cuttings in summer, by simple or air layering, or from grafting done in winter. Humus-rich, fertile and moist soil; does well in acidic soils. Sun to part shade

Hamamelis virginiana, or common witch hazel, hardy zones 4-8. Hamamelis japonica, Japanese witch hazel, and Hamamelis mollis, the Chinese witch hazel, both are very ornamental. The latter hardy to zone 5-8
