Southern Living Plant Collection SL-53Q Sunshine Ligustrum, 2.5 qt, Yellow

The brand new sunshine lustrum from the Southern Living plants collection reinvents the traditionally invasive lustrum & recreates it into a sterile, non-invasive cultivar. This beautiful evergreen is most noted for its year-round vibrant yellow foliage, yet in early spring, new growth emerges as a delicate Lime green that complements the spring foliage colors characteristic of the season. Once summer is in full swing, the sunshine live sup to its name as its golden leaves illuminate the landscape. The more sunlight, The better for this sun-loving plant that reflects that light back upon the landscape through its petite Oval leaves. This lustrum proves itself to be incredibly versatile, as its compact, upright form makes a tremendous natural hedge that requires no pruning. However, the sunshine also lends itself to pruning without skipping a beat, & can be shaped into small topiaries that make for head-turning, unique container plants. Plant this hardy & long-lived plant in well drained garden soil & fertilize in early spring for best performance.
