The Bronze Beauty Cleyera, Clevera japonica ‘Conthery’, is great for mid-sized evergreen hedges. To do so, plant 5 feet apart, center to center. Its compact growth habit makes an outstanding accent or foundation plant. New leaves emerge with a striking bronze color turning to a deep green in fall and winter. Tiny, fragrant white flowers are an added bonus in the spring.

Bronze Beauty Cleyera Care

Plant in well-drained slightly acidic soil, watering regularly to establish. Fertilize in spring with a slow-release fertilizer. Prune to shape or to maintain desired height when used as a hedge.

Bronze Beauty Cleyera Spacing

Plant 5 feet apart, center to center when establishing a formal or informal hedge. When creating a shrub border, plant 8 feet apart, center to center.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty whether you’re new or an expert. There are many variables outside our control and yours that can cause the demise of your plant(s). Examples would be hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, disease, insects & many other factors. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all the unknowns and will replace your plant if it moves on to the plant afterlife.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant purchase. We will cover 100% of the price of the plant but the warranty does not cover shipping cost. Simply let us know if your plant has died within one year of receiving it and we’ll get you a new one shipped out. We may ask for photos for documentation purposes but again we’ll try to make it as easy as possible.
