Joseph's Take
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.
