Beaver Creek Fothergilla (Fothergilla gardenii 'Klmtwo' PPAF) is a fantastic dwarf ornamental flowering shrub with loads of new perks while retaining all of its hardy native genetics! From white bottle brush blossoms that Hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees adore, to the unique veined, scalloped leaves that turn a dramatic array of fall colors, these tough beauties are shockingly underutilized in the home landscape!
The entire little 2-3 foot tall and wide shrub becomes covered in honey-scented little white bottlebrush blooms before the blue-green leaves arrive on the scene. They are rounded and have scalloped edges for a delightful effect. Once temperatures drop, the red fall color flushes the entire bush with touches of purple, orange, and yellow in the mix!
Also known as the Witch-Alder or Mountain Witchazel, Beaver Creek is a select deciduous cultivar of the gorgeous native shrub found throughout woodlands and swamps of the southeastern United States. Hardy in USDA growing zones 5 through 8, and form thickets and colonies with their polite suckering.
Planting and Application:
These are gorgeous low-hedges and property definition with three seasons of beauty and interest! Use as facer shrubs along an older evergreen hedge to hide their leggy bare lower stems. Use as a low backdrop to Perennial and Cottage gardens, adds beauty to your foundation plantings, and softens the edges of retaining walls, stone stairs, and around outbuildings!
Beaver Creek Fothergilla favors moist soils, so does well on the outskirts of ponds, water features and Rain Gardens. Pollinators adore these plants, as do birds and wildlife! Plant groupings in the backyard for low privacy that spreads on its own (politely) creating a habitat for your songbirds to nest and take shelter in. These space-saving shrubs can even be kept in large planters with adequate drainage and winter protection.
- White Bottlebrush Blooms in Spring
- Honey-Scented Pollinator Magnets!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Dwarf Fothergilla does best in full sun and partial shade, and you'll enjoy more flowers in 6 hours of sunlight a day or more! Plant in a well-drained, consistently moist, slightly acidic location that's enriched and mulched with 3-4 inches of arborist bark chips. These plants are low-maintenance and only need to be tidied up with light pruning right after blooms fade.

- Moist Well-Drained Soil
- Appreciates Mulch & Slightly Acidic Conditions
- Fairly Deer Resistant Native Cultivar
- Low Maintenance Dwarf Shrub
