‘Legend of the Small’® Fothergilla packs big beauty into a petite package. This compact, native hybrid shrub delivers multi-season interest—starting with fragrant, bottlebrush-like white blooms in early spring that emerge before the leaves. The flowers are rich in nectar and beloved by pollinators.
In summer, its clean, deep green foliage provides a tidy backdrop, and come fall, it puts on a spectacular show with fiery hues of orange, red, and yellow, rivaling even the most dramatic maples.
Perfect for small gardens, borders, and foundation plantings, this deer-resistant shrub offers native appeal and year-round charm.
✔ Compact and tidy habit
✔ Spring fragrance + fall fireworks
