Dwarf Fothergilla
Fothergilla gardenii 'Klmtwo' Beaver Creek is a very compact and uniform form of dwarf fothergilla selected by Klehm Nursery, not far from Chicago. Fragrant white bottlebrushes cover this 3-foot-by-3-foot deciduous shrub in May. Autumn features a montage of orange, gold, and red leaves just before they fall. This highly desirable ornamental shrub does best if provided with consistently moist soils that are slightly on the acidic side of the pH range. It is tolerant of full sun to a half day of shade. This dwarf fothergilla is slow-growing but well worth the wait.
