Mood Ring Podocarpus from Southern Living Plants is an upright evergreen with glossy foliage that emerges as bronze pink. Podocarpus, also known as Japanese Yew, is prized for its low maintenance and lush texture. As Mood Ring emerges from Spring, it starts to produce new foliage and shoots that range in color from a coral pink to a bronzey color that makes it stand out among other evergreens. This new foliage matures to a deep green that maintains through the winter. This podocarpus matures to 15 ft. H x 4 ft. to 6 ft. W, making it an ideal privacy screen, foundation planting or tall hedge. Podocarpus is often used in commercial applications and theme parks because of its fast growth habit, dense foliage and low-maintenance. Mood Ring Podocarpus is hardy in USDA Zones 7 to Zones 10. It does well in full sun to part shade. It can tolerate a wide range of soils. Fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in the spring to help promote new growth. To create a tight privacy screen or foundation planting, space 3 ft. apart. for a gap between your plants, space 6 ft. or more.
