Distylium 'Vintage Jade'

Vintage Jade Distylium spreads wider than it grows tall, creating a generous sweep of deep blue-green foliage. This evergreen shrub is useful where a border needs low, lasting structure rather than a tall screen, and its understated reddish flowers appear in winter.

Why Gardeners Love Vintage Jade Distylium

- Spreading habit: Broad growth can visually connect larger planting groups

- Evergreen leaves: Blue-green foliage stays useful beyond the growing season

- Cool-season flowers: Tiny maroon-red blooms provide a close-up winter detail

- Foundation flexibility: A low profile suits beds beneath windows where space allows

- Color contrast: Pairs naturally with bright roses and warm-leaved shrubs.

Where to Plant Vintage Jade Distylium

Use Vintage Jade toward the front or middle of a wide, well-drained border. Check its mature width before planting close to paths or structures.

Growing and Care Tips

Provide regular moisture until established, then irrigate as needed during drought. Remove broken branches and make light shaping cuts rather than forcing it into a tight box.

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. Vintage Jade is the low growing choice if you need something that spreads a lot but only grows 2 feet tall, it's almost a groundcover and looks great with Drift Roses.
