Distylium 'PIIDIST-II' PP#24,409


Enhance your landscape with the Blue Cascade® Distylium, prized for its striking bluish-green foliage and distinctive winter appeal. This versatile shrub produces delicate reddish-maroon blooms that persist for weeks, providing seasonal color when most plants lie dormant. Its compact, refined habit makes it an excellent choice for foundation plantings, hedgerow designs, and mixed borders. The foliage truly shines when complemented by warm-toned plantings in front—consider pairing with golden or burgundy specimens to maximize visual impact.

The Distylium family of shrubs are relatively new to the market. They have become go to foundation plantings used to replace several problematic shrubs. When I'm talking to my customers, I tell them Distylium can handle shade, sun, dry, wet, good and bad soil. Blue Cascade is great as a four foot hedge along fences and as foundation plantings in the front of a house. I especially love planting something very red or very yellow in front of these, examples include Candy Corn Spirea or Crimson Fire Loropetalum.
