The x intermedia hybrids are crosses between Japanese witch hazel (H. japonica) and Chinese witch hazel (H. mollis). These are large deciduous shrubs that typically grow 12-20 tall and feature mid to late winter flowers. ëJelena is an upright cultivar with ascending branches and a spreading habit. It will typically grow slowly to 8-12 tall, and is noted for its winter-blooming, sweetly fragrant, copper flowers (to 1î long), each having four narrow, ribbon-like, crinkly petals. Upon close inspection, however, the flower petals are actually multi-colored, having reddish bases, orange centers and yellow tips. Axillary clusters of these flowers bloom along the stems in February to March. Broad-oval, green leaves (to 6î long). Orange-red fall color is usually quite attractive.
