3 Gal. Bronze Beauty Cleyera – Live Compact Evergreen Shrub, Glossy Foliage

Description

Bronze Beauty Cleyera is a dense evergreen shrub from Southern Living Plants. It gets its name from the bronze-hued new growth that emerges in the spring and after pruning. New growth fades to green, making for a stunning contrast of old and new foliage on the shrub. Topping out at 10 feet tall and 6 feet wide, this shrub makes a perfectly compact privacy screen or tall hedge that requires very little maintenance. Use it along foundations or fences to add height to the back of a garden area or to hide construction elements like air conditioning units or meters. It can take the sun to shade, is pest resistant, drought resistant, and disease resistant, making it a reliable addition to any landscape. This shrub will grow best in a location that receives full to part sun, and that has well-drained slightly acidic soil.
