Just before the new leaves emerge in spring, this deciduous flowering shrub produces abundant, honey-scented, pure white flowers that resemble a bottlebrush at the end of almost every stem. After flower show green leaves emerge that turn to blue. The leaves retain their blue color throughout summer turning to brilliant shades of red, orange and yellow in fall. . A stunningly beautiful and very easy to grow this is one shrub we think deserves a spot in every garden where it will grow. USDA Plant Hardiness Zones: 5a-8b  \u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFind Your Zone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eFothergilla x intermedia 'Blue Shadow, commonly called hybrid fothergilla or witch-alder, is a hybrid deciduous shrub whose parents are two American species: \u003ci\u003eFothergilla major\u003c\/i\u003e, which grows to 10 feet tall and \u003ci\u003eFothergilla gardenia\u003c\/i\u003e, which grows to 3 feet tall.
