American Witch Hazel Hamamelis Virginiana Alder Shrub Tree Yellow Flower Seed
This shrub boasts wispy-looking flowers on bare branches in February or March, long before much else is going on in your garden. Their whimsical appearance makes them a fun addition to the landscape. Be sure to plant the winter-flowering variety because there are many different types.

I do not have an indoor garden so I am waiting until spring to plant. I will try planting closer to Feb or March in small pods watering with spray bottle, and slowly introduce the plants to outdoor conditions.
