In gardens where the heat bites and water runs scarce, lush greenery can feel like a luxury. That’s where Buckhead™ Bold Distylium steps in—a hardy, evergreen foundation shrub tailor-made for Southern landscapes, but with far more style than the standard choices. Its broad, leathery foliage delivers bold texture and dynamic color year-round. Bronze-toned new growth matures to a sophisticated blue-green, creating depth and contrast in any planting. Just when you think it’s done impressing, Buckhead™ Bold surprises with vibrant red flowers in late winter—an unexpected burst of cheer when the garden needs it most. With its dense, upright form and commanding size, this distylium is ideal for hedges, screens, or anchoring garden beds. Reliable, resilient, and refreshingly different, Buckhead™ Bold doesn’t just survive—it elevates. 4-7 feet tall and wide at maturity Hardy in zones 7b-9, be sure to check your USDA zone to ensure success Plant in part to full sun (4+ hours daily) Space plants 4-7 feet apart for best results Produces bright red flowers in late winter Maintains foliage year-round with new growth emerging bronze before it ages to blue-green Resists deer Blooms on old wood Great for hedges, borders, edges, landscapes, mass planting or as a focal point Heat tolerant, low maintenance, fall and winter interest Care: Fertilize with Proven Winners Continuous Release Plant food in spring and mid-summer.
