Plant of the Day
Friday 13 January 2023
The stems of Corylus avellana 'Contorta' (corkscrew hazel, Harry Lauder's walking stick) provide dynamic winter interest. The branches are strongly twisted and create a large shrub which is even more impressive if the finer stems are pruned to reveal the structure. The leaves have a slightly twisted and contorted appearance with catkins being produced on bare twigs in the spring.

Plant of the Day

These purplish-pink catkins and twisted branches help the identification of this plant as Corylus avellana 'Red Majestic' (purple contorted hazel). This is a compact, deciduous shrub or small, semi-weeping tree. The leaves, which will soon be emerging, are dark purple becoming increasingly green as the season progresses.

Plant of the Day
Wednesday 20 December 2017
This distinctive container has an arrangement of cut Corylus avellana ‘Contorta’ (contorted hazel) stems tied to a plant support usually used for herbaceous perennials. The surrounding plants are the grass-like yellow leaved Acorus gramineus 'Ogon' (slender sweet flag) and the contrasting rounded foliage of Bergenia 'Eroica' (elephant's ears) which turns red in the winter.
