Fothergilla gardenii 'Mount Airy'
Fothergilla gardenii ‘Mount Airy’ is a refined ornamental shrub highly sought after for its fragrant spring blossoms and exceptional fall color. It forms a compact, dense, and slightly spreading shrub, perfectly suited for mass plantings, borders, and naturalistic gardens. In spring, before the leaves fully emerge, it is covered in white, cylindrical, bottlebrush-like flowers that emit a delicate and much-appreciated fragrance. Its deciduous bluish-green foliage transforms in autumn into spectacular shades of yellow, orange, and scarlet red, offering one of the most beautiful autumnal displays among shrubs. Hardy and well-suited to Quebec's conditions, ‘Mount Airy’ prefers acidic, well-drained soils and provides remarkable ornamental value across multiple seasons.
