Ligustrum ovalifolium ‘Aureum’ – 2 litre pot

Ligustrum ovalifolium ‘Aureum’ is a dense and robust evergreen shrub with an upright growth habit. Its oval-shaped leaves have a vibrant and radiant yellow hue, occasionally showcasing hints of green at the centre. The small flowers of ‘Aureum’ appear in modest panicles, displaying a muted white colouration. As the seasons progress, this magnificent shrub transitions into yet another visually appealing phase by producing small, glossy black berries.

Care instructions:
– Avoid planting directly in the frozen soil.
– Container planting is possible throughout the year; use containers that are large and deep enough to prevent roots from freezing in the winter, and ensure there are drainage holes in the bottom of the container. Planting in small containers will lead to plants becoming rootbound.
– Water well after planting. Water well in dry weather. Avoid waterlogged conditions in winter.
– To maintain the plant’s appearance, remove faded flowers by cutting the stem to a strong leaf without leaving it sticking out of the foliage.
– In the spring, remove the dead and damaged leaves from the foliage.
– Feed weekly when the plant is in flowering season.
– Lightly prune hedges twice in summer to maintain dense growth and prevent pests and diseases.
