Native to the southeastern US, these compact, manicured shrubs are beautiful additions to landscapes. Small cream-colored bottlebrush blooms adorn the shrubs in early spring. Rounded blue-green leaves often turn brilliant shades of orange, yellow, and hot scarlet in fall. Fothergilla prefer evenly moist, well drained soils. Deer
