Provide full to partial sun exposure, ensuring the plant receives at least 4-6 hours of sunlight daily for optimal growth and vibrant foliage.
Maintain consistent moisture for newly planted shrubs; once established, they become somewhat drought-tolerant. Water regularly, especially during dry spells.
Choose well-draining, fertile soil to support healthy growth. Amend the soil with organic matter if necessary.
While generally hardy, consider protecting the plant in severe winters with burlap or mulch around the base to shield it from extreme cold.
Sunshine Ligustrum is versatile and suitable for hedges, borders, or as a focal point in landscaping due to its striking golden foliage.
Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in the spring to encourage growth. Follow recommended dosage for best results.
Apply mulch around the base to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and deter weeds. Maintain a 2-3 inch layer of mulch.
Regularly trim for shape and size, ideally after flowering. This helps promote new growth and keeps the shrub in the desired form.
Keep an eye out for common garden pests like aphids, spider mites, or scales. Treat any infestation promptly with appropriate solutions.
