Add item to quote to see pricing

Ligustrum x vicaryi is not just a shrub, but an embodiment of natural beauty. More commonly known as Vicary Golden Privet, its defining feature is vibrant, golden-yellow foliage that clads a robust, oval-shaped structure. Standing tall at up to 6-12 feet, it is as versatile as it is vivacious, casting its golden hue in all directions - against boundary hedges, as an accent plant or holding court organically as a standalone feature. Thriving under the glow of full sun to partial shade, it boasts a moderate water usage and a preference for well-drained soil conditions. As warmer months approach, it initiates a performance of its own with clusters of small, elegant, white tubular flowers. This natural spectacle succeeds in attracting a myriad of pollinators, further enhancing your garden's ecosystem. But the show isn't over just yet. In the flowers' wake, small black berries make an appearance, serving as a visual counterpoint to the golden leaves and attracting a variety of wildlife, though they should be avoided for ingestion. The Vicary Golden Privet bestows a perfect blend of aesthetic brilliance and functionality, adding volume, texture, and a stunning color palette to your landscape with minimal maintenance.
