This past year I found a purple Hamamelis virginiana in my nursery and I'm pretty sure it's a one of a kind. I've showed it to Mike Dir and Don Shadow and they said they don't know of such a plant. So my question is, does anyone know of any obscure, little known purple witchhazels? I'm trying to verify this plant doesn't exist yet.

The leaves are dark like a beech, hold in the sun, the stem is purple, the sap is purple and the roots are purple. It's very dominant in color.
