About This Product

The new 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 natural hedge, no pruning required! At maturity, it reaches only 3-4′ wide by 3-6′ tall. Consequently, it also lends itself to trimming, if that's more your speed. Shape this beauty into uniform hedges or small topiaries. Furthermore, the Sunshine's petite, oval leaves are perfect for shaping into hard edges. Try a mass planting for a truly impressive display!

    The plant does survive after 30 days in San Antonio (December 2025) so far, but the pot was not as bushy as shown in the picture. You'll only get about 1/3 of that many leaves and branches.

        I was nicely surprised to see how big they were. Came very carefully packaged. They had to stay in the boxes for several days before I could plant them and when I took them out, they were in excellent condition. Photo is one week after planting. Very satisfied! Highly recommend!

        Bright green shades!
        So 5 years after planting along the driveway I’m writing this review. Great plants! Out of about 40 I think only 2 are growing slower. Rest are very healthy. Not much care needed. Only pruning at the end of the season.

            Won't survive Climate Zone 5
            Great looking bush, but won't survive Climate Zone 5. Misread when I purchased it, not sure why they even sell them in Chicago. Plants are on bottom right, all dead.
