classic jade plant Vintage Jade Distylium

Need a graceful front yard landscaping plant? The First Editions® Vintage Jade Distylium (Distylium 'Vintage Jade') is a nifty alternative to common (dare we say 'overused'?) species like Cherry Laurels, Junipers, Hollies, Indian Hawthorn and even Boxwood!

Vintage Jade is a broadleaf evergreen shrub, with a beautiful dark blue-green color year round! In the winter, small maroon-colored flowers bloom on the arching stems, bringing winter color when not much else is blooming. Your pollinators will be sure to show their gratitude!

This is a good thing! Because these are such low-maintenance, versatile, and graceful plants, you won't want your garden to be without one! Adaptable throughout USDA planting zones 7 to 9, Winter Hazel shrugs off heat and humidity with ease!

Planting and Application:

Tired of the "same old, same old" in your garden? Ready for something new? Try Distylium, a member of the Witch Hazel family, that is native to China. Forward-thinking landscapers are starting to use them in landscapes across the country! So easy to grow and add year-round beauty to your landscape, you'll wonder why you've not included these shrubs in your garden design already!

Vintage Jade is low growing and stays in neat, graceful mounds adding a touch of 'formal wildness' to your hedges. Use as screening, backdrops, and low foundation hedges that won't block your view! There's no spraying or shearing needed to keep them looking their best either! Even large planters become feature plantings as well!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

This evergreen shrub is super easy-care, and Distylium is pest and disease-resistant, drought-tolerant, and thrives in full to partial sun, in wet soil or dry conditions once established! How wonderful is that? Simply top-dress the soil with 3-4 inches of arborist mulch each year and then prune these shrubs after they flower to tidy them up and that's it! You can even skip shearing and just perform a renewal pruning every 3-5 years instead.

• Full Sun & Partial Shade
• Once Established Handles Wet to Dry Sites
• Any Well-Drained Soil Type
• Prune After Flowering If Needed
• Easy-Care & Colorful First Editions® Shrub
