The Vintage Jade Distylium is a versatile and low-maintenance evergreen shrub, prized for its compact, spreading habit and glossy, dark green foliage. In late winter to early spring, it produces small, red, ribbon-like flowers that add subtle seasonal interest. Perfect for groundcovers, borders, foundation plantings, or erosion control, this shrub thrives in a variety of landscape settings. Known for its exceptional disease and pest resistance, the Vintage Jade Distylium is an easy-care option that retains its beauty year-round. Ideal for USDA Zones 7–9, this shrub is drought-tolerant once established, making it a practical and attractive addition to any garden. It is a low-maintenance evergreen shrub and a good alternative for boxwood, juniper, cherry laurel, and holly in the landscape. Vintage Jade shrubs have a spreading growth habit that will form an attractive low-spreading mound. When planting this Distylium, dig the hole twice as wide as the pot and mix rich garden soil in with your native soil, choose a location that gets full sun to part shade, then leave the top of the root ball 1/2 inch above the ground level when filling the hole with soil. Use a slow-release granular fertilizer in Spring. Not guaranteed to be in bloom on arrival.
