Questions & Answers

Do you think it can survive in winter with no or little sunlight?

My backyard gets lots of sunlight in summer but not in winter.
Asked by: NY
I have wonderful praise for this Sunshine Liguestrum, we had a foot of snow and rains continuously during the whole months of Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, March and now April. A LOT of rain. These bushes survived the worst so far and am now going to order more since they did so well for around my pool area. They are bright, soft looking, am very glad I bought them. I have over an acre of back yard I've cleared of Oak and privet upstarts, now my shade trees have been added, I'll make sure I have plenty of these about the yards. I love them and the pugster dwarf bottlebrush are perfect as well

"Sunshine ligustrum" bushes die off rapidly. Need Help! I planted 3 "Sunshine ligustrum" plants...

"Sunshine ligustrum" bushes die off rapidly. Need Help! I planted 3 "Sunshine ligustrum" plants in front of my house last year. They grew fast, looked good and went through the winter well, but this spring all of a sudden they started to die off rapidly. The leaves started dropping from the base and middle of the plants, while new growth continued at the top. Some new leaf growth is still occurring on the top portions of the plants, but at a slow rate and much less quickly than the leaves are dropping. No new leaves appear to be coming back on the lower and middle portion of the plants where they dropped from. I am wondering if anybody has any experience with them and can help.
Asked by: JKB
I planted 2 in the ground but used potting soil to allow them to root more easily. Then have kept well watered every few days. They are planted where they get a lot of sunlight. The 3rd I got to get free shipping I am keeping it in a large pot for now.
