Grown, packaged and shipped exclusively by Florida Foliage. Another wonderful Ligustrum which makes an excellent large hedge, as well as a nice colorful accent plant. Like most any Ligustrum, can be pruned / trimmed to maintain a desired shape or size. Has very dark, deep, glossy green leaves - new growth is bright yellow turning to green with age
During the spring / summer growing season, Howardi has almost a two-toned look with the brilliant yellow new growth, combined with the dark, glossy green of older, mature foliage. Moderate growth rate & high disease resistance makes this evergreen shrub a perfect choice for any landscape. Prefers full sun, but will do well in part shade as well.
This low-maintenance evergreen needs a regular water schedule to ensure the growth of a mature root system. After the mature root system is established, watering is needed occasionally, except during a drought, watering is needed regularly.
Responds well to pruning. Shearing is recommended 2-3 per year to maintain desired shape. Mulching is recommended to detour weeds, retain moisture, and keep temperatures low.
With an upright, broad and bushy form, Howardi Golden ligustrum makes a great mid-size hedge, and looks equally nice by itself as an accent planting in foundation plantings or landscape beds and islands. The bright foliage contrasts nicely with other shrubs that have purple, red, or dark green foliage.
