Sakaki (Cleyera Japonica) 7 seeds

An elegant, tough, and shade-tolerant broadleaf evergreen, this Northeast Asian native is often associated with Japanese gardens. It forms a dense, compact, rounded shape when young, but matures into an upright multi-trunked large shrub with handsome gray bark.
Whorls of glossy elliptic leaves cover cleyera all year around. Bronze to red when young, they quickly deepen to glossy dark-green. In winter they turn shades of burnished bronze red. Small, fragrant, creamy-white flowers appear on the previous year's wood in late spring and early summer. The five-petaled, nodding blooms give rise to attractive small, fleshy, inedible fruits that are yellow-green maturing to bright red. These showy cherry-like fruits ripen in fall and persist through winter.
This handsome shrub excels in partial shade and sandy, fertile, acid soil, although it will tolerate slightly alkaline soils and some clay. This is an exceptionally pest- and disease-free plant that looks great either pruned or left to its own devices. It is ideal for screening, large hedges or foundations and is pretty enough to plant as a specimen. It also works well as an outdoor or indoor container plant. Several cultivars have been selected for their colorful foliage. (info source: Learn2grow.com)
