Blooms usually continue after the leaves fall. This shrub is found on mesic moderately moist to dry soil, in clay or sand. It is usually found under trees or along the edge of the woods. The extract witch hazel is derived from the bark and roots. In the fall, the seed capsule snaps and ejects the seed 5-10 feet!
