About this item
Product details
The Southern Living 1-Gallon Ligustrum Sunshine Live Shrub is a standout evergreen prized for its brilliant golden-yellow foliage that glows year-round. Unlike annuals, this shrub is a perennial that thrives season after season in USDA Hardiness Zones 6–10, making it a versatile choice for many regions. It grows best in full sun (6–8 hours daily) and prefers moist, well-drained soil with good fertility. Water regularly to establish, then provide deep watering during hot or dry spells to keep the plant healthy. With its upright, compact growth habit and luminous foliage, Sunshine Ligustrum is ideal for hedges, borders, foundation plantings, or as a striking accent shrub where its color contrasts beautifully with darker evergreens. This variety is also deer-resistant and drought-tolerant once established, making it a low-maintenance yet eye-catching addition to any landscape.
- Southern Living 1gal Ligustrum Sunshine Live Shrub Plant Sun
- This plant is considered a shrub because it is a woody plant with multiple stems that typically remains shorter than a tree and retains its structure above ground year-round.
- Light Requirements: When growing your own vegetables, plant in full sun for best results.
- Mature Height: 6-12 ft
- Mature Plant Width: 3–5 ft
- USDA Hardiness Zones: 7-10
- Watering Requirements: Newly transplanted plants need consistent, deep watering to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged, typically about 1–2 inches of water per week, with extra attention during the first 1–2 weeks to help roots establish. It’s best to water at the base of the plant early in the day and avoid wetting the foliage to reduce disease risk.
- Soil Requirements: Trees and shrubs thrive in well-draining soil enriched with organic matter. For best growth, amend planting areas with compost or peat moss to improve fertility and moisture retention.
- Where to Plant: Choose a location with appropriate sunlight for the specific plant variety, ensuring good air circulation. Most trees and shrubs perform best in areas with full sun to partial shade. Allow enough space for mature growth and avoid planting too close to buildings or other large plants.
- Bloom Color: Small White Blooms
- Bloom Season: Spring
