Coppertone™ Distylium

The Coppertone™ Distylium is a new variety of evergreen shrub that rivals laurel and boxwood for making hedges or filling spaces with evergreen foliage. If you are tired of dull evergreens that are always bug infested and diseased, it’s time to enjoy instead a pest-free evergreen that is always attractive and clean. The elliptical leaves are smooth and glossy, in a unique blue-green color that lasts all through winter. The new leaves pass through red, copper, bronze and purple tones as they mature. As well, Interesting dark-red flowers bring a lift to late winter.

• Reliable evergreen with attractive blue-green foliage
• Kaleidoscope of copper, bronze, red and purple on new leaves
• Easily trimmed into hedges and features
• Very resistant to heat, humidity and drought
• Not bothered by pests or diseases

It doesn’t matter if you grow the Coppertone™ Distylium in full sun or partial shade – it is fast-growing and will thrive. It grows readily in all the warmest zones, even in the South, where it resists the common pests and diseases found in hot zones. It grows in all kinds of soil, in any location, and once established it is very drought resistant, yet it will grow in wet soil too. Easily trimmed, or left to grow naturally bushy and dense, this great new plant is a winner.
