Fothergilla major 'Mount Airy'

Nicely rounded habit and it’s a good size for a number of situations, including a foundation planting, a smaller garden or a mixed border. Its profuse bristly spring flowers have a honey-like fragrance. Foliage looks attractive all summer but turns nice shades of red and orange in fall. Great multiple-season shrub.
