Question

WHICH PLANTS PAIR WELL WITH CINNAMON GIRL DISTYLIUM?

Answer

You are so lucky to live in a part of the country where it is a warmer zone and Cinnamon Girl Distylium thrives.

You have lots of possibilities for companion plants. With a Louisiana garden, you must have a Baton Rouge Dogwood! It’s beautiful year-round with spring flowers, fruit for songbirds, colorful fall foliage and red stems in the winter. What’s your gardening style? If you are using it as a hedge similar to boxwood and looking for a taller accent plant, a Magic series crape myrtle would be a nice pairing. A shrub or tree form Tahiti Hibiscus would be beautiful too. You can add both southern elegance and fragrance to the garden with re-blooming Sweet Tea Gardenia. Other possibilities are butterfly bush, vitex and hydrangea. Your gardening style and time of year you are outside enjoying the garden will help with plant selection.Happy Gardening!
