Jewel Box® Distylium (Distylium hybrid ‘PIIDIST-VI’) is a dense, dwarf evergreen shrub with a naturally tidy, rounded form. Growing just 2 to 3 feet tall and wide, it features soft blue-green foliage and small reddish-maroon flowers that appear in late winter to early spring. This versatile plant is heat-tolerant, disease-resistant, and thrives in full sun to part shade. It’s an excellent alternative to boxwood or holly in low hedges or mass plantings, offering year-round structure with minimal upkeep.
