Corylus maxima 'Purpurea', commonly known as Purple Filbert, is a delightful addition to any garden, offering year-round beauty and interest. During the winter months, this hardy deciduous shrub dazzles with its golden yellow catkins that adorn bare branches, creating elegant silhouettes in winter borders. As spring arrives, the landscape transforms with the emergence of its unique purple, heart-shaped foliage, injecting vivid colour into the garden. The plant matures further as tubular husks form, enclosing the edible nuts, adding to its ornamental charm. This variety of Corylus maxima is particularly stunning when grown in full sun, as it enhances the vibrancy of its foliage. Its versatility and aesthetic appeal make it a popular choice among gardening enthusiasts seeking a striking yet low-maintenance addition to their outdoor space.
