Libby, I've been growing it for about five years -- just the common garden 
Hamamelis virginiana. I got mine from Goodwin Creek Gardens in Oregon for 
$3.95, but I notice they've gone up to $4.95 now. It came as a plug about 
10" tall, but it has grown into a lovely shrub. I really like this nursery 
a lot. It's completely organic, and the owners answer the phone when you 
call. They are very helpful. I've ordered lots of stuff from them and have 
never had a problem.
