Description
‘Legend Of The Fall®’ Bottlebrush (Fothergilla x intermedia 'ALICE' PP32049) is also known by the common name Bottlebrush, thanks to its bristly flower form. The native species Fothergilla is native to swamps and woodlands in the Southeastern region of the United States. This native cultivar is a hybrid of F. major and F. gardenii. It thrives in rich, well-drained slightly acidic soil, but is easily adaptable to a wide range of soil and moisture conditions. Flowering and fall color are affected by sunlight, moisture, and temperature; they’ll be best on plants in full sun, but in the hottest climates the plants can benefit from some late afternoon shade.
Fothergilla will thrive just about anywhere in your yard - to frame a cottage garden or meadowscape, planted as a hedge for home curb appeal, to anchor a perennial garden border, or naturalized beneath taller trees in woodland gardens. Fothergilla is a good native plant alternative to Burning Bush (Euonymus alatus) for its bright fall color.
Especially low-maintenance, Fothergilla can take a light pruning to remove unwanted suckers or damaged branches immediately after flowering. Suckers can be divided for propagation.
