The Sunburst Ligustrum (Ligustrum x vicaryi 'Sunburst') is a stunning and low-maintenance evergreen shrub that boasts vibrant golden foliage and a dense growth habit. This versatile plant is perfect for adding a splash of color to any landscape and can be used in a variety of applications, such as hedges, borders, or specimen plantings.
The Sunburst Ligustrum is a hardy, evergreen shrub that typically reaches a height of 3 to 6 and width of 3 to 4 feet. It is well-suited for USDA hardiness zones 6 through 10, making it adaptable to a range of climates. This plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and can tolerate various soil types, from sandy to clay or loamy soils.
The dense, upright growth habit of the Sunburst Ligustrum makes it an excellent choice for creating hedges, privacy screens, or windbreaks. Its adaptability and low-maintenance requirements also make it suitable for use in urban gardens, mixed borders, or container planting.
One of the most striking features of the Sunburst Ligustrum is its vibrant golden-yellow foliage. The leaves are oval-shaped, glossy, and display a rich color that remains consistent throughout the year. This stunning foliage provides year-round interest in the garden and can be used to create a striking contrast with darker green or purple plants.
The Sunburst Ligustrum's dense foliage not only adds visual appeal to the landscape but also serves practical purposes. Its evergreen nature and compact growth habit make it an ideal choice for creating privacy screens or windbreaks, while the foliage can be used in floral arrangements to provide texture and color.
The Sunburst Ligustrum produces clusters of small, white, fragrant flowers in late spring to early summer. These blossoms attract a variety of pollinators, such as bees and butterflies, adding an additional element of interest to the garden. The flowers are followed by small, dark blue to black, berry-like fruits which can attract birds to your landscape. However, it is important to note that the fruits can be toxic to humans if ingested, so caution should be taken if planting in an area accessible to children or pets.
