In spring, witch-hazel produces new foliage, which slowly unfurls into mature, dark green, deeply toothed leaves with a beautiful texture. While plants are perhaps most vivid looking in the summer, autumn is when witch-hazel truly stands out. After the plant's dazzling fall show of golden yellow leaves has wrapped up and leaves have started to follow, the plant's seed pods, which typically take a full year to develop, begin to literally pop, sending seeds flying through the forest understory!
