Cinnamon Girl® Distylium features leaves with plum-purple new growth that turns to blue-green as the leaves mature. The small leaves and compact growth on this distylium give Cinnamon Girl® a refined look in the landscape that is perfect for mass plantings and garden borders. Hardy from Zones 7-9, Cinnamon Girl® is also one of the most cold-tolerant varieties within the species and is an excellent alternative to boxwood and other evergreen plants threatened by insects and diseases in the south.
