  • Description / Distylium Buckhead™ Bold Winter-Hazel

    Distylium Buckhead™ Bold Winter-Hazel is a bold, sophisticated evergreen shrub with year-round presence. Known for its broad blue green foliage and distinctive bronze new growth, this selection offers a refined, modern look ideal for Southern gardens. Its dense, mounding form makes it a strong alternative to larger boxwoods or hollies, excelling as a low hedge, foundation plant, or even in large containers.

    One of its standout traits is the subtle yet unique display of small red flowers in late winter to early spring, providing color when little else is blooming. Developed by Dr. Donglin Zhang at the University of Georgia, Buckhead™ is designed to thrive in warm climates and heavy soils. It shows exceptional tolerance to clay, heat, and dry conditions once established.

    This Proven Winners® Color Choice® Flowering Shrub offers superior container presentation and non invasive growth. Evergreen foliage provides structure and color in all seasons, with fresh new bronze tips adding spring interest and mature foliage staying lush through summer and fall. Cold hardy in USDA Zones 7 to 9, it grows 4 to 7 feet tall and wide with minimal care.

    Adaptable, dependable, and elegant, Buckhead™ is a go to choice for evergreen beauty with seasonal interest and low maintenance needs.
