SOUTHERN LIVING 2 Gal. Jewel Box Distylium, Evergreen Shrub With Soft Blue-Green Foliage and a Rounded Habit

Jewel Box Distylium from the Southern Living Plant Collection is an upright, rounded evergreen that is perfect for a low-growing hedge, border or mass planting. This distylium features blueish green, finely-textured evergreen leaves. Its moderate to fast growth rate makes it ideal to fill in spaces quickly with glossy textures and cool hues. This distylium matures to 2 ft. x 3 ft. tall x 3 ft. x 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 cool color contrast. Jewel Box is hardy in USDA zones 7 to zones 9. It does well in full sun to part shade. If pruning, do so in early spring before the first flush of new foliage.
