1. Does Vintage Jade Distylium stay green all year?
Yes. It is an evergreen shrub with deep blue-green foliage in suitable climates.
2. Is Vintage Jade tall or spreading?
It is valued for its relatively low, spreading growth habit. Plan for width rather than treating it like an upright hedge.
3. Does it produce flowers?
Small maroon-red flowers may appear in winter. They are a secondary feature compared with the foliage.
4. Can Vintage Jade replace ground cover?
It can provide low, broad coverage in a larger bed, but individual shrubs need enough room to reach their natural spread.
5. What light does it prefer?
Sun to partial shade is generally suitable, with adequate moisture during establishment.
6. Should I shear it into a hedge?
Light selective pruning is usually preferable. Heavy shearing can obscure its attractive horizontal habit.
