Description
The Sunshine Ligustrum from the Southern Living Plant Collection completely reinvents the traditional Privet! It’s coveted for its vibrant golden-yellow, evergreen foliage. This is a true landscaping treasure, and once you know it, you’ll recognize it wherever you see it. New growth emerges as a delicate lime green, which does a phenomenal job of awakening the landscape from its Winter slumber. This foliage will continuously intensify as Spring turns into Summer, at which point they will be a gleaming shade of gold. The more sunlight they get, the better. More sun produces more yellow leaves, while less sun results in more yellow-green foliage. This Ligustrum proves itself to be incredibly versatile. Its compact and upright form makes for a tremendous low maintenance natural hedge, no pruning required! Ligutrums are great attractants to pollinators like butterflies and deter pests such as deer. They have superb salt and drought tolerance, so you don’t need to worry about watering them every day.
