Distylium myricoides x racemosum 'Vintage Jade'
Forms a spreading mound in the landscape & is beautiful dark evergreen. Petite red flowers appear in the winter. Adaptable plan: tolerates drought, heat & wet soil.
Exceptional resistance to disease and insects.
Great alternative for boxwood, cherry laurel, holly, and juniper in foundation plantings or anywhere you want low-maintenance evergreens.
