Blue Shadow Bottlebrush
Fothergilla x intermedia 'Blue Shadow'
This striking shrub showcases delicate white, honey-scented blooms clustered at branch terminals, complemented by cool blue-green foliage with a naturally compact, rounded form. Come autumn, the foliage transforms into a vibrant display of crimson, amber, and golden tones that persist for weeks. Its distinctive coloring makes it an excellent choice for foundation plantings, mixed borders, or landscape masses seeking year-round visual interest. While this cultivar thrives in full sun exposure—where flowering and color development are most pronounced—it demonstrates sufficient adaptability to partial shade conditions, offering flexibility in garden placement.
