witch hazel 'Livia'

'Livia' is a spreading shrub up to 2.5m high and 3m wide with twiggy branches, broadly elliptic leaves 11cm long and 6.5cm wide which are a medium yellowish green heavily flushed with maroon-purple in spring, become dark green, and develop faint orange-red tints in autumn; lightly scented flowers with purplish red calyces and deep red petals over 2cm long appear from late autumn to late winter, over a very long flowering period, and unlike some other red cultivars they do not change colour as they fade
