Distylium BLUE CASCADE 'PIIDISTII'
A novelty amongst the small evergreen shrubs
This selection by M. DIRR is a hybrid between Distylium myricoides and Distylium racemosus.
Resistant to insects and pathogenic agents, tolerating drought and heat, BLUE CASCADE® is an excellent replacement for traditional evergreen shrubs. Bronze during budding, the long and straight foliage then turns original mat blue-green.
The flowering is insignificant.
Its dense and compact cascading growth, allows it to be used in low hedges or as ground cover, in regions with temperate winters (hardy down to -15°C). It is also happy grown in pots.
Avoid too basic ph soil.
