Corylus maxima 'Purpurea' Shrub
Corylus maxima 'Purpurea' is a lovely shrub with heart shaped foliage that is rich chocolaty purple in spring and summer fading slightly to a dark green / purple in late summer. In the late winter or early spring, long claret red /purple catkins are produced which look striking against the trees bare form. These are followed by edible nuts in autumn.
This shrub will grow to a maximum of 5 x 3 metres in 20 years and makes a great impact in any garden where there is space for this size of shrub but it can easily also be kept at a much more modest size (Hazels take very well to pruning). This tough deciduous plant will tolerate any soil type that is moist but well-drained in full sun or partial shade. Full sun will give the best purple leaf colour. Exposure isn’t a problem for this lovely purple leaved shrub.
