SOUTHERN LIVING 2 Gal. Cast in Bronze Distylium, Evergreen Shrub with Fast Growing Upright Habit

Cast in Bronze Distylium from the Southern Living Plant Collection is an upright, rounded evergreen that is perfect for a medium-sized hedge or screen. Its glossy foliage starts a bronzey-maroon color that matures to a shiny dark green, hence the name Cast in Bronze. Its moderate to fast growth rate makes it ideal to fill in spaces quickly with glossy textures and warm hues. This distylium matures to 3 ft. to 4 ft. tall x 3 ft. to 4 ft. W, making it great for mass plantings, textural fills or mixed beds. Use it in place of traditional boxwoods or dwarf hollies to give your landscape a warm color contrast. Cast in Bronze is hardy in USDA zones 7 to zones 9. Cast in Bronze does well in part sun to full sun. If pruning, do so in early spring before the first flush of new foliage.
