Clusia

Clusia is a versatile tropical plant well-suited for Florida’s climate, thriving in USDA zones 10-11. It prefers full sun to partial shade and requires moderate watering, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. This hardy shrub produces attractive, leathery leaves and can bloom with small, fragrant flowers that attract pollinators. A fun fact: Clusia leaves can store water, helping the plant survive dry spells. Ideal for hedges or container planting, it adds lush greenery and resilience to your garden with minimal maintenance.
