The Cinnamon Girl™ Distylium is a new variety of a rare plant that has grabbed the attention of gardeners looking for plants like boxwood, but reliable in heat and humidity, and free of pests or diseases. This plant fits that need perfectly, as well as making an excellent low ground-cover, growing just 2 or 3 feet tall, and spreading up to 6 feet across. The new leaves are plum-purple, maturing to an attractive blue-green, and they are small and glossy, making a neat plant you will love. Trimmed or not, this bush is perfect for low hedges, filling the foreground of your beds, or edging a walkway.
The Cinnamon Girl™ Distylium grows in warmer parts of zone 6 all the way into the hottest and most humid states. It grows in full sun or partial shade, and thrives in any soil, from wet to very dry, and of all types. This amazing plant is also free of pests or diseases, and it is a great low-maintenance bush that doesn’t even need trimming to stay neat.
