(7 pack) Southern Living 1gal Ligustrum Sunshine Live Shrub Plant Sun

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.
