Variegated Evergreen Privacy Hedge - 5 Live Quart Size Plants

This upright deciduous shrub occasionally has semi-evergreen characteristics, and it blooms creamy-white, fragrant flowers. Accompanied by bright yellow new growth, its dark green, glossy foliage gives it a two-tone effect. Its fast growth will allow it to reach a height of 8-10 feet, but it can be trimmed to any desired height, even as low as waist high. Its dense and bushy nature makes it perfect for use as a privacy screen, wind screen, and hedging, while adding great color to any garden. Another wonderful Ligustrum variety, it is excellent as a large hedge and a colorful accent plant. Like most Ligustrum plants, it can be pruned and trimmed to maintain a desired shape and size. It has very dark, deep, glossy green leaves, with new growth starting as bright yellow and eventually turning green with age. During the spring and summer growing season, Howardii has an almost two-toned look with the brilliant yellow new growth complementing the dark, glossy green mature foliage. Its moderate growth rate and high disease resistance make it an ideal choice for any landscape. It prefers full sun, but will also thrive in part shade. This low-maintenance evergreen requires regular watering to ensure the establishment of a mature root system. Once the root system is established, occasional watering is sufficient, except during droughts when regular watering is necessary. It responds well to pruning, and shearing is recommended 2-3 times per year to maintain the desired shape. Mulching is also recommended to deter weeds, retain moisture, and keep temperatures low. With its upright, broad, and bushy form, Howardii Golden Ligustrum is perfect for use as a mid-size hedge, and looks equally impressive as a standalone accent plant in foundation plantings or landscape beds and islands. The bright foliage creates a beautiful contrast with other shrubs that have purple, red, or dark green foliage.
