Waxleaf Ligustrum – 1 Gallon Pot

The Waxleaf Ligustrum is a handsome, dense, fast-growing evergreen flowering shrub perfect for hedges or privacy screens. Left to grow naturally it might reach 12 feet tall by 8 feet wide but can be kept at half that size with an annual pruning in late winter. It responds very well to pruning for shaping and is often trained into topiary specimens such as globes, pyramids or cones. Lower branches can be removed to form a highly attractive evergreen tree. In early May to June abundant panicles of creamy white fragrant flowers are followed by attractive black berries that persist through winter. The flowers stand out remarkably well against the glossy, dark green leaves. Very heat and drought tolerant!
