Distylium myricoides 'Athen's Tower'

Athen's Tower Distylium

This upright-growing Distylium offers an attractive combination of durability and year-round evergreen foliage, making it an excellent choice for foundation plantings, privacy screens, and low-maintenance hedges. In late winter, clusters of small, deep red, tassel-like flowers emerge along the branches, adding subtle seasonal interest when few other shrubs are in bloom. Adaptable and easy to maintain, it brings reliable structure and color to the landscape throughout the year.

  • Upright, vase habit
  • Small, burgundy red flowers along stems in late winter
