Blue Mist Dwarf Fothergilla

The Blue Mist Dwarf Fothergilla (Fothergilla gardenii 'Blue Mist') is a charming deciduous shrub known for its unique and attractive features. It typically grows to a compact height of around 2 to 3 feet with a similar spread, making it suitable for smaller gardens, borders, or container plantings. The Blue Mist Fothergilla gets its name from the misty blue appearance of its foliage during the spring and summer seasons. The leaves are small, oval-shaped, and have a bluish-gray hue, creating a soft and cool effect in the landscape. In addition to its foliage, this variety produces fragrant, bottlebrush-like flowers in early spring. The flowers are creamy white and often have a hint of honey-like fragrance, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies to the garden. As autumn arrives, the foliage transitions to vibrant shades of yellow, orange, and red, adding a fiery display of color before the leaves drop for winter. The Blue Mist Fothergilla prefers moist, well-draining soil and thrives in full sun to partial shade. It is generally low-maintenance and requires minimal pruning. With its compact size, captivating foliage, and beautiful spring flowers, the Blue Mist Dwarf Fothergilla is a delightful addition to any garden or landscape.
