Product description
“Aureum” is an evergreen shrub with an erect growing habit. It has delightful leaves which can have various colourations. Common foliage has medium green interiors, surrounded by a light-green margin. Some leaves present as wholly light yellow-green, although this can change in more mature plants with older leaves.
Be aware that although the leaves are generally small, during transplanting the plant may lose its foliage as it adjusts to its new environment.
On panicles, small white flowers sprout during the main flowering season in mid-summer for this hedge. Later the flowers are followed by shiny, pea-sized berries.
In partial shade or in sun, these plants grow well. In addition, they are adaptable to most soil and air conditions. As such, these plants are valued for their ability to thrive in urban environments where air quality might be a concern.
Excellent plants for hedge rows due to their density and adaptability. They are hardy plants and tolerate temperatures down to -15°C and more if sheltered from cold, dry winter winds.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
Ligustrum responds well to pruning. Regular trimming helps maintain a compact, dense shape and encourages fuller growth.
How to Water
Water Ligustrum regularly, especially during dry periods. Ensure the soil is moist but not waterlogged. Once established, they are fairly drought-tolerant but benefit from consistent moisture for optimal growth.
How to Plant
Plant Ligustrum in well-drained soil, in a spot with full sun to partial shade. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball, place the plant, and fill with soil. Water thoroughly after planting and add mulch to conserve moisture and control weeds.
