Description
Sunshine Ligustrum is a dwarf privet that sports screaming yellow foliage you can spot from an airplane at 10,000 feet! Foliage turns a handsome orange-bronze in winter. Without pruning the plant grows to about 3 to 4 feet tall and wide. That said, with pruning, it can be kept to as low as 1 foot in height and width. If you’re looking to add some eye-popping color to your landscape look no further – Sunshine Ligustrum is your choice!Â
Note:Â Sunshine Ligustrum is a sterile hybrid that will not re-seed into other areas of the garden as some other privet are known to do.Â
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 1 to 4 feet tall and wide (depending on pruning), Sunshine Ligustrum is ideal for use as a specimen or low clipped hedge in smaller landscape spaces. In larger landscape spaces plant it in small to large groupings for eye-popping splashes of vibrant color, as an underplanting for small trees such as Crape Myrtle and upright Japanese maples, as a low natural or formal hedge, or as a border to line paths and walkways. Can be sheared to globes, squares, domes and other interesting geometrical shapes. A fine addition to formal gardens, knot gardens and yellow theme gardens.Â
Suggested Spacing:Â 1 to 3 feet apart for solid hedges;Â 5 feet or more apart for space between plants

Note:Â Â For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 5a, where this Ligustrum variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
Growing Preferences
Sunshine Ligustrum is easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. The brightest foliage color is achieved with 7 or more hours of direct sun light per day. Shade produces chartreuse to lime green foliage color. Pruning is not necessary unless a tight formal shape or hedge is desired.
