Doug-

'Jelena' is another real nice variety, with copper-colored flowers, as is 'Diane', which has nearly-red flowers. Both are hardy and have great Fall color. I've seen a lot of mislabeled plants of these cultivars(actually a lot of common and vernal witch-hazels labeled as these cultivars) in the nursery trade, so it's best to choose them when they are in bloom to be sure to get the right variety.
