The Plant Sentry Compliance Officer works closely with NatureHills.com and each nursery or fulfillment center to ensure only compliant plants are sold to customers.

Our plants are grown all over the country and lead time on items may be different because of this. Once your order is placed, you will also receive the specific shipment time-frame information as part of your order confirmation. Once an item ships, you will receive shipment notification and tracking numbers, so you can follow along while your plant travels to your doorstep. We use FedEx, UPS, or USPS at our discretion.
Due to winter weather we have put a hold on shipping to the areas shown below in grey. You can still order now and we will ship the plant to you during an appropriate time for your zone.

A great alternative to Boxwood and other shrubs that can not do the best in some areas! Let's be honest, at first glance, the First Editions® Cinnamon Girl® Distylium (Distylium 'PIIDIST-V' PP 27,631) isn't a sexy plant. Even with a hot name like Cinnamon Girl®, this is simply a hardworking shrub!
Cinnamon Girl® is a stalwart option to traditional Boxwoods and other evergreen hedges, especially in the south where other shrubs are susceptible to bugs and diseases in the heat and humidity. This is the most cold-hardy of all the Distylium shrubs on the market, withstanding winter temps that make other Distyliums shudder!
But looking closer at this landscape workhorse, you'll notice the year-round blue-green broadleaf evergreen leaves, the cinnamon accents to the foliage, and the winter flush of rosy red flowers that harken to this plant's Witch Hazel family tree! Also known as Winter Hazel, Cinnamon Girl® then shows off when the new leaves emerge plum-purple!
Planting and Application:
Cinnamon Girl® handles pruning well and makes a great backdrop in any garden! But its tidy and amazingly fast growth means you may not need to pick up the shears that often! Instead, they prefer to grow neat and tidy without much fuss!
Cinnamon Girl® Winter Hazel isn't the diva in the garden, nor is she quite as eye-catching a centerpiece or the show-stopping specimen plant as some others. But, she is dependable. She is sturdy. She is reliably green and very easy to care for!
Wait a minute…
Low maintenance? Always ready for action? There when you need her? Fits into any place (even containers and planters!) and makes everything around her look better?
What were we thinking? Cinnamon Girl® just may be the sexiest plant ever! Order enough to surround your house with the sexiest foundation planting in your neighborhood. You'll love Distylium as low screening and property definition, low backdrops and year-round garden greenery, delightful facer plants, and more!
- Cinnamon Accented Leaves & Plum-Purple New Growth
- Gorgeous Broadleaf Evergreen Foliage
- Very Fast Growing!
- More Cold-Hardy Than Other Winter Hazel
- Rosy Red Winter Flowers For Pollinators!
- Perfect for Foundation Plantings, Containers, Specimens & Low Hedges/Screening
#ProPlantTips for Care:
This broadleaf evergreen shrub is super easy-care, and Distylium is pest and disease-resistant, drought-tolerant, and thrives in full to partial sun, and even in wet soil or dry conditions once established! How wonderful is that? Simply top-dress the soil with 3-4 inches of arborist mulch each year and then prune these shrubs after they flower to tidy them up and that's it! You can even skip shearing and just perform a renewal pruning every 3-5 years instead.
- Full Sun & Partial Shade
- Once Established Handles Wet to Dry Sites
- Any Well-Drained Soil Type
- Prune After Flowering If Needed
- Pest & Disease-Resistant, Even in the South!
- Great Alternative to Boxwood
