Bluescape Distylium is a compact, low-mounding evergreen shrub with gracefully arching branches sporting gray-green willow-like foliage that emerges bronze tinted. Its fringed burgundy flowers bloom in thick clusters in late winter attracting butterflies and pollinators. Grows best in full sun and slightly acidic, moist well-drained soil. Bluescape is drought tolerant.
