This evergreen shrub can grow between 3 to 6 feet in height and 3 to 4 feet in width when left natural, but it also takes well to pruning, allowing you to shape it as desired. Notably, this Ligustrum variety is sterile, so you won't have to worry about unwanted blooms or spread in your garden. Ideal for a variety of uses, the Sunshine Ligustrum works wonderfully as an accent piece, in containers, as part of a hedge, or in mass plantings. Its small leaves also make it a perfect candidate for crafting into topiary shapes, adding a unique touch to your outdoor space. Hardy in USDA Zones 6 through 10, this shrub is not too particular about soil, thriving in average garden soil with good drainage. To ensure the Sunshine Ligustrum thrives, water it 2-3 times per week during its first growing season and fertilize yearly with a slow-release balanced fertilizer. This care will keep your Ligustrum looking vibrant and healthy.
