Vintage Jade Evergreen Witch Hazel (Distylium) – 3 Gallon Pot

Distylium hybrid  ‘Vintage Jade’ PP23,128

Every once in a while, maybe once in a decade, a new plant comes along that has everything we look for in a hardy and reliable evergreen flowering shrub. Very adaptable, Distyliums, also known as Evergreen Witch Hazel, grow well in sun or part shade and will tolerate dry or wet soils when established, which can’t be said about many shrubs. Very adaptable, Distyliums grow well in sun or part shade and will tolerate dry or wet soils when established, which can’t be said about many shrubs. Heat and humidity don’t phase the plants. We’ve seen no problems with insects and disease and deer turn their nose up to it. In landscape design, Distyliums are a great alternative for boxwood, laurels, holly and juniper in sunny to partially shaded home foundation plantings, landscape borders, and as a soil stabilizer on embankments and slopes.

Vintage Jade Distylium forms an evergreen spreading mound of handsome bluish-green leaves that provide a unique texture and color which contrasts nicely with plants of lighter or darker color. A member of the witch hazel family, petite red flowers appear along the ends of stems in late winter through early spring.
