Ligustrum Recurvifolium #3 Pot

Ligustrum Recurvifolium, commonly known as Recurve Privet, is a hardy evergreen shrub known for its dense, glossy, dark green leaves with a slightly curved, wavy appearance. An interesting characteristic of this plant is its ability to form an attractive, thick hedge, making it a popular choice for privacy screens, borders, and foundation plantings.

In southern Louisiana, Ligustrum Recurvifolium typically grows to a height of 10 to 12 feet with a spread of 6 to 8 feet, forming a lush, compact shrub. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and is highly adaptable to various soil types. This plant is cold-tolerant in USDA zones 7-10 and can handle mild frosts. It prefers well-drained soil and moderate watering, with more frequent watering needed during hot, dry periods, but it is also somewhat drought-tolerant once established.
