Description
Every once in a while, maybe once in a decade, a new plant comes along that has everything we look for in a hardy and reliable evergreen flowering shrub. Very adaptable, Distyliums, also known as Evergreen Witch Hazel, grow well in sun or part shade and will tolerate dry or wet soils when established, which can’t be said about many shrubs. Heat and humidity don’t phase the plants. We’ve seen no problems with insects and disease and deer turn their nose up to it. In landscape design, Distyliums are a great alternative for boxwood, laurels, holly and juniper in sunny to partially shaded home foundation plantings, landscape borders, and as a soil stabilizer on embankments and slopes.
‘Coppertone’ is a mid-sized Distylium with a spreading, rounded form with coppery-orange new foliage that matures to a handsome deep blue we’ve never seen on any other plant. A member of the witch hazel family, it produces petite red flowers that appear in late winter. Â No other plant we’ve seen looks like Coppertone Distyilium so it’s sure to be a standout in your landscape!Â
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing in a spreading, rounded shape that reaches 3 to 4 feet tall and 4 to 5 feet wide, Coppertone Distylium is ideal for use as an accent, in groupings, or as a staggered or straight row hedge planting in home foundation plantings and landscape borders. It is also very useful in mass plantings to dress up embankments, hillsides and slopes and where its roots do an excellent job stabilizing soil for erosion control.

Spacing Suggestions:Â Â 4 feet for solid hedges;Â 8 feet or more for space between plants

How Many Plants Needed To Cover A Planting Area?
Note:Â Â For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7a, where this Distylium variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
Growing Preferences
Exceptionally adaptable and the most cold tolerant Distylium we’ve grown, Cinnamon Girl is very easy to grow in most any moist to moderately drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. It tolerates wet soils better than many other evergreen shrubs but is also tolerant of dry soil conditions when established. We have Distyliums growing in sites that receive 4 hours and up to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day and plants do equally well. That said, the plants in more sun might be a little more dense. Maintenance is minimal unless you want a more formal shape or hedge, which will require some pruning.

I read your description of this plant and it sounded like an evergreen that was well worth it in every respect possible, and I wasn’t the least bit disappointed, in fact thrilled with the appearance and looking forward to the copper colored new growth in the spring, and even though my main goal was for brightly colored foliage or beautiful flowers or very fragrant, if you are looking for a really nice evergreen shrub of that size, this is one you should consider. And in this one i don’t think the photographs even gave it must of the credit it deserved.—————————————————————-Thanks so much for your great review. Let us know if there’s ever anything we can help you with. 🙂 – Beth | WBG
I love this plant. It is very beautiful. I cannot wait to get my other plant like it, and my other plants as well in October around the third of the month!!! Thank you so very much!! Yours very truly, Rennea Burgess in Lakeland, Florida. ———————- WBG Reply: Hi Rennea – Thanks so much for your review of the Coppertone Distylium and we hope you enjoy it for years to come. We really like the Distyliums too and all varieties are doing very well in our gardens. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you again in the future. – Brent | Wilson Bros Gardens
Distyliums rock! and the large plants I received from Wilson Brothers were very very nice. Have three varieties of Distyliums and can’t decide which one I like the best. These are great plants that can handle the hot and humid conditions well here in New Orleans. Will buy more from Wilson Brothers….have my eye on the Swing Low Distylium, which is new to me. You guys keep doing what you’re doing and you’ll have a lifelong customer here. ————————– WBG Reply: Hi Jade – Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review and for the compliments. You rock! It’s our pleasure to serve you. Hope you enjoy your Distyliums for years to come. Distyliums are the best evergreen shrubs to come along in a long time. I’m up to 7 varieties in my landscape and the Coppertone Distylium is my personal favorite. Let us know if there’s ever anything else we can help you with. – Brent | Wilson Bros Gardens
