With summer blooms stealing the spotlight (or the summer heat challenging your cool!), it's easy to overlook the true workhorses in the garden. Evergreen shrubs provide the backbone of a garden – lending structure during the lean winter months and a backdrop for the summer spectacle. With glossy, evergreen foliage and an upright stature, Southern Living® Cleyeras set the stage with style. 
For privacy screening, select taller varieties like Bigfoot™ and LeAnn™ Cleyera. Despite their tall stature, they have a relatively slim profile, growing just 5-7 feet wide, making them adaptable to smaller gardens. For added drama, the variegated foliage of Juliet™ Cleyera is unmatched. Her unique foliage adds quick color and texture to containers, garden beds, and foundation plantings
The most successful planting designs include a mix of structural and accent plants. Give those luscious blooms a stage to perform on.
