In autumn and as the season transition into winter, the plant does not lose its colour. Rather, it develops golden hues that will continue radiating sunlight throughout the day.

Water the young plants moderately and more frequently in the dry season. fertilise annually in spring to ensure sturdy roots development. Once established, Sunshine will grow as a tough plant that will thrive with neglect. Sunshine hedges can tolerate pruning and trimming, very well.
Sunshine Ligustrum does make perfect accent plants, particularly in garden containers, but it is their hedges they create along pathways, that make them so interesting. Dress up your walkway or driveway to welcome your guests or use it to decorate your patio or deck.

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.
