Fothergilla gardenii - Plant Finder - Missouri Botanical Garden
Fothergilla gardenii, commonly known as dwarf fothergilla or coastal fothergilla, is a slow-growing, deciduous, dwarf ornamental shrub that is native to moist lowland coastal plain bogs and savannahs in the southeastern U.S. from North Carolina to the Florida panhandle and Alabama.
Fothergilla is a good alternative to the invasive Asian burning bush (E. alatus) for its bright fall color. Grow fothergilla in full sun to light shade in rich, well-drained slightly acidic soil. F. gardenii does best in moist soil, while F. major and the hybrids tend to be more adaptable to a wider range of soil and moisture conditions.
