Cinnamon Girl Distylium

Cinnamon Girl Distylium is a refined, compact evergreen that forms a spreading, mounded shape with graceful foliage. Its leaves emerge reddish and mature to a nice bright green, offering color contrast throughout the season. Reaching 2 feet tall and spreading up to 3 feet wide, it creates a dense mat ideal for large-scale plantings or massed low borders. Though it produces small maroon flowers in spring, it’s primarily appreciated for its foliage and reliable structure. The plant maintains a tidy appearance without frequent trimming and adapts well to both modern and naturalistic designs. It’s especially effective in corporate landscapes or beneath taller shrubs.

• Evergreen foliage with seasonal color shifts

Cinnamon Girl grows best in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained soil. Hardy in USDA zones 7–9, it's a dependable evergreen for North Texas landscapes needing soft, structural fill.
