Description

Vintage Jade Disylium is a stunning evergreen shrub from the First Editions collection, prized for its unique blue-green foliage and compact growth habit. This plant can reach a width of 4-5 feet and a height of 3-4 feet at maturity.

The leaves of Vintage Jade Disylium are a striking blue-green color with a slightly glossy surface, providing a bold accent to any landscape design. This plant also produces small dark red flowers in the spring.

Vintage Jade Disylium is easy to care for and can be used in a variety of landscaping applications. It is particularly well-suited for use as a hedge or border plant, as it has a dense growth habit and can be easily pruned to maintain a desired shape. It can also be used as a focal point in mixed borders or as a low-maintenance specimen plant in rock gardens.

To plant Vintage Jade Disylium, select a location with well-drained soil and full to partial sunlight. Dig a hole that is slightly larger than the plant's root ball, and place the plant in the hole. Backfill with soil and water thoroughly. To encourage healthy growth, apply a slow-release fertilizer in the spring and prune as needed to maintain the desired shape and size.

Care & Use

Getting Started: Understanding Your New Plant

Review your plant's information on our website or the tag that comes with it. Be mindful of sunlight preferences, soil type, and spacing needs.

Planting Instructions

Dig a Hole

First, dig a hole three times the width of the root ball of your plant. This makes it easier for the root system to spread out quickly. Dig the hole deep enough that your plant will sit level with or slightly above the ground around it.

Amend Your Soil

Mix your native soil with rich gardening soil to provide extra nutrients and support plant growth. If your soil is clay-heavy, we recommend mixing your native clay soil with equal parts of Pine Bark mulch to improve drainage and the overall breathability of your soil.

Place Your Plant

Examine the roots. If they appear tightly bound, gently coax them apart; this ensures they can spread into the new soil. Place your plant in the hole so the top of the rootball is even with the surrounding soil—Backfill around it with the amended soil mixture. The roots need access to oxygen for your plant to thrive, so do not cover the rootball; place soil around it.

Mulch Your Plants

Top the soil beneath your plant with 3-4 inches of mulch to help it retain moisture. Be careful not to cover the rootball - your new plants roots need access to oxygen.

Water Your Plant

Soak the plant with a hose afterward to hydrate the plant, as well as get the soil and mulch situated. Develop a regular watering schedule based on your plant's needs and local weather patterns. Remember, over watering is just as, if not more, harmful than under watering.

Spacing Recommendations

Vintage Jade Distylium Spacing

For a seamless hedge or border planting, space your Distylium 2.5-3 feet apart from plant center to plant center. For space between plantings, plant them 5+ feet apart.
