Quick Overview:

An exciting new evergreen featuring matte blue-green foliage with a cascading, layered habit. Its reddish-maroon flowers in late January through March add interest during the winter months. The new flush of growth is noticeably copper colored. With its heat and drought tolerance, it is the perfect plant to use as a specimen or grouping in any size garden. The new growth emerges with a coppery-red color to the leaves. This is a great replacement for Otto Luyken laurel.

Description

Distyliums are a Southern gardener’s dream plant because they are evergreen, compact, disease and insect resistant, and are heat and drought tolerant. Distylium hybrids will also grow in wet soils.  Light tip pruning in June spurs new growth and a denser growth habit.  A late winter tip pruning may also be done after the plant has bloomed, but the best advice is minimal attention. They will grow from light shade to full sun. When planted in shaded areas, Distyliums will have a looser shape.
