Corylus avellana contorta is a fantastic and unusual-looking shrub that carries golden-yellow catkins on contorted stems. These catkins form the main attraction of this woody plant. Known as the corkscrew hazel, it is ideal for planting in the middle of a sunny garden border or in a large container.
The twisted stems, much valued by flower arrangers, provide a curious and unusual focal point. This plant is really something to get people talking! It has fresh green foliage throughout the year, turning golden yellow in autumn before it falls. The bare twisted stems look particularly stunning in winter when covered in ice and frost—something both architectural and unusual.
Larger plants supplied in approx. 7-10 Litre containers.
