Description

Dazzling variegated leaves distinguish the Romeo Cleyera from others. The colorful buttery-yellow and green evergreen leaves develop attractive rose-pink hues in fall and winter. A slow to moderate grower, Romeo can be left to grow naturally as a shrub that is full to the ground or lower branches can be removed to form a very attractive small tree. An excellent accent in home foundation plantings or low maintenance hedge that can be maintained as low as 5 feet in height.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 6 to 8 feet tall and 4 to 6 feet wide depending on pruning, the Juliet Cleyera is ideal for use as an accent or to fill large spaces between windows and open walls in home foundation plantings. It also serves as a very attractive evergreen hedge or background in sunny to partially shaded landscape borders. Remove lower branches and you have a very attractive small tree useful as a specimen in sunny to partly shaded areas. A fine addition to tropical look gardens and Xeriscape gardens (low water needs).

Suggested Spacing: 4 feet apart for solid hedges; 10 feet or more for space between plants

Growing Preferences
