Description
The Blue Cascade Distylium is a broad-leaf evergreen that flowers throughout winter. This lovely blue-green shrub is a great substitute for other evergreens that tend to be prickly, lack color, or are just simply overused in the landscape.
Beautiful blue-green foliage lasts all year. Delicate, deep ruby red flowers coat the branches adding rich color in January through March. In spring a brilliant bronze-red hue dances over the matte leaves. The dense, layered habit of the Blue Cascade® Distylium adds depth, lavish color, and unique texture to your landscape!
