The Sunshine Ligustrum, from the Southern Living Plant Collection, is an improved landscaping shrub! that features gorgeous golden-yellow evergreen foliage. Reaches 3 to 6 Ft. H x 3 to 4 Ft. W if left untrimmed; however, it responds wonderfully to trimming. In addition, this Ligustrum is sterile, meaning that it won’t bloom or spread in your landscape. Use it as an accent, container, hedge, or mass planting. Alternatively, due to its small leaves, it trims nicely into simple topiary shapes. Hardy in USDA Zones 6 - 10. prefers average garden soil with good drainage. Water 2-3 times per week for the first growing season. Fertilize yearly with a slow-release balanced fertilizer to keep this plant happy and healthy. ---------- This item includes one 2 Gallon Sunshine Ligustrum Shrubs (live plants) in plastic pots with soil. The pots will be wrapped in a poly bag to retain moisture and hold any soil that shakes lose in shipping. The plant will be shipped in a cardboard box that has been designed to hold the plant in place to reduce any chance of damage in transit. As soon as the plant arrives it should be un-packaged, un-bagged, and watered. --------These plants ship from the Gulf Coast of Alabama. We recommend that customers outside of the southeastern United States order during the milder times of year (Spring/Fall) to prevent heat/cold stress during transit.
