Fothergilla major 'Blue Shadow'

Description

Gary Handy discovered this dark, blue-green sport from F. major 'Mt. Airy'. The foliar color is a backdrop for the typical bottlebrush flowers - ivory and strongly perfumed with a sweet essence. In autumn, the foliage turns pleasing shades of orange, yellow and red. No eastern U.S. garden should be without one, especially if you can find a decently moist pocket for it!
