Variegated Chinese Privet

Ligustrum sinense 'Variegatum'

Variegated privet can be grown as a hedge or specimen plant and they typically reach a height of 4-5 high. Grow them in full sun in a well-drained slightly acid soil. This easy to grow evergreen shrub provides a brilliant contrast when planted with darker foliaged shrubs and flowers. Allow it to grow into a naturally rounded shrub or it can be sheered for a more formal look.

Provide this durable shrub with full sun in a well-drained slightly acid soil. Swift Creek Variegated Chinese Privet is normally fairly fast growing except in heavily compacted soils. Providing good air circulation and moderately well drained soils will help to minimize any pest or disease problems.
