In addition to using it as a hedge or windbreak, the Sunshine ligustrum is flexible enough to take on other roles. Consider planting a loosely-arranged threesome on either side of your front entrance, for example. Or plant one in a large container with purple basil and 'Orange Rocket' barberry. Pruning your ligustrum into a sphere, pyramid, or even a single-trunked, small tree allows it to stand as a specimen plant in the center of a formal garden.
