Bigfoot Cleyera

As the name may suggest, Bigfoot Cleyera is the largest of the three Cleyera plants offered by the Southern Living Plant Collection. It is able to reach heights of 15-20' H and 5-6' W which makes it ideal for usage as a large uniform hedge. New foliage on the Bigfoot™ Cleyera will emerge with a crisp bronze-green appearance, then shortly turn to a dark glossy green.

As autumn comes around, the Bigfoot’s foliage develops a bronze-red hue that fits in perfectly with the new colors of the season. This Cleyera will respond to pruning and shearing, allowing one to sculpt their natural privacy screen to their particular liking. Plant the ‘Bigfoot’ Cleyera in part shade to full sun, and slightly acidic soil for best performance.
