Excellent groundcover perennial that thrives in difficult areas where little else will survive. Grows best in partial to deep shade, but will grow in sun if adequate water is provided.
The flowers are not as fragrant as those of the widely planted Chinese witch-hazel (Hamamelis mollis) or the popular hybrid H. × intermedia (a lovechild of H. mollis and H. japonica, the Japanese witch-hazel).
space I would grow three species: fall-blooming Hamamelis virginiana with bright yellow flowers, followed in January through March by the coppery orange-flowered Hamamelis x intermedia 'Jelena' and deep yellow- and bronze-flowered Hamamelis mollis.

Furthermore, trees around the garden's edge provide shade at intervals during the day, enough so that hostas, mayapples (Podophyllum peltatum) and lady's-mantle (Alchemilla mollis) can grow.
Lady's mantle (Alchemilla mollis) In early summer, airy sprays of chartreuse flowers rise above fluffy mounds of easy-care foliage. On dewy summer mornings, check to see if the cupped and serrated leaves hold any water droplets.
