Southern Living Juliet Cleyera Live Shrub in 2-Gallon Grower Pot

The Juliet Cleyera from the Southern Living Plant Collection is a delightful twist on the traditional Cleyera. This variety produces gorgeously variegated olive-green and cream white foliage that is glossy and leathery in texture. This foliage is evergreen, as well as heat tolerant and pest resistant. At maturity, this variety is capable of reaching 8-10 feet tall and 5-6 feet wide. However, a light pruning every spring will keep it at any desired height. Use it as an accent in a mixed garden bed, a privacy screen, a hedge, or in a mass planting. This Cleyera is hardy from USDA Zones 7a-10b and grows well in Full Sun to Part Shade. It grows well in average quality garden soil with good drainage and should be watered 2-3 times per week for the first growing season. These Juliet Cleyeras are well-established in 2 gallon pots and will tend to be 14-18 inches tall when shipped.
