Description
‘Legend Of The Fall®’ Bottlebrush (Fothergilla x intermedia 'ALICE' PP32049) brings color and drama to the fall garden, and soft bristly texture when it blooms in spring. Fothergilla is native to swamps and woodlands in the Southeastern region of the United States. This nativar 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 great 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.
Planting & Care
Shipping
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge. See our shipping information page for approximate ship dates and more detailed information. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at (802) 227-7200 or contact us by email or chat.
