Ligustrum Sunshine (9cm)

Brilliant chartreuse foliage sets this plant on fire, like the mighty Sun itself wants to shine only for this plant. Ligustrum Sinense Sunshine is such a joyful looking plant that scatters life and light in all seasons of the year. This non-invasive cultivar grows very compact and upright, producing small round yellow-green leaves that seem to glow when the sun is shining. It is ideal for hedging, in mass plantings and in containers as well.

Sunshine plant produces new light green leaves in spring that change to luminous yellow. This lemon-green combination creates a striking radiance that will fill any dull corners with colour. In autumn and as the season transition into winter, the plant does not lose its colour. Rather, it develops golden hues that will continue radiating sunlight throughout the day.

Ligustrum Sunshine is sterile and does not produce any flowers, which in fact, makes it a great choice for people who are allergic to pollen. Plant Sunshine in a dry or moist, well-drained garden soil. It is highly resistant to pollution, making it suitable for urban gardens.

Water the young plants moderately and more frequently in the dry season. Fertilize annually in spring to ensure sturdy roots development. Once established, Sunshine will grow as a tough plant that will thrive with neglect. Sunshine hedges can tolerate pruning and trimming very well.

Sunshine Ligustrum does make perfect accent plants, particularly in garden containers, but it is their hedges they create along pathways that make them so interesting. Dress up your walkway or driveway to welcome your guests or use it to decorate your patio or deck.
