Distylium First Editions® LINEBACKER® (PBR) is a strong-growing evergreen shrub appreciated for its dense habit and year-round foliage. The plant forms a broad mound of small blue-green leaves that provide consistent colour and structure in the garden through every season. In late winter to early spring, discreet reddish flowers may appear along the stems, adding subtle interest before new growth begins. This variety is valued for its resilience and tidy shape, making it suitable for borders, informal hedging, and landscape planting. In the UK it grows best in a sheltered location with free-draining soil and performs well in both sun and partial shade, requiring very little ongoing maintenance once established.
