Bayou Bliss Distylium, from the Southern Living Plant Collection, is an upright, rounded dwarf evergreen shrub that is perfect for a low-growing hedge, border or mass planting. This Distylium shrub features blueish-green, finely-textured evergreen leaves. Its moderate to fast growth rate makes it ideal to fill in spaces quickly with glossy textures and cool hues. This Distylium shrub matures to 2-3 ft. tall x 3-4 ft. W, making it great for mass plantings, textural fills, or mixed beds in the landscape. These are a great replacement or alternative to traditional boxwoods or dwarf hollies to give your landscape a cool color contrast. Bayou Bliss Distylium shrubs are hardy in USDA zones 7 to zones 9. These evergreen shrubs grow well in full sun to part shade. If pruning, do so in early spring before the first flush of new foliage.
