Outdoor Plant Size

Fothergilla ‘Mt. Airy’ is one of the most celebrated four-season shrubs in the landscape trade, prized for both its fragrant bottlebrush-like white flowers in spring and its spectacular autumn transformation into glowing shades of orange, red, gold, and copper — sometimes all on the same plant at once. Growing into a tidy, compact mound suited to shaded and partly shaded gardens, it thrives without aggressive suckering. Deer, rabbit, pest, and disease resistant, and tolerant of Black Walnut root competition, it performs quietly through summer and then stops traffic every fall. An outstanding choice for shade gardens, woodland borders, and mixed foundation plantings.
