Distylium Myricoides is a flat-topped evergreen shrub with gracefully arching branches, making it an excellent choice for foundation plantings, mixed borders, and low hedges. The willow-like leaves of Distylium Myricoides have a subtle bluish hue, adding a soft, elegant texture to the landscape.
In early spring, Distylium Myricoides produces small fringed red flowers in thick clusters that attract butterflies and other pollinators. This adaptable evergreen shrub grows best in full sun and prefers slightly acidic, moist, well-drained soil. Once established, Distylium Myricoides tolerates both drought and wet soils, making it a low-maintenance and reliable landscape option.
