No pests, a fast grower with drought, heat and cold tolerant qualities along with a beautiful chartreuse color on new growth. During the winter this evergreen’s leaves turn a purple/black color.
I’m letting it “go wild” and will probably give this baby its first haircut soon.
If it matters any, I have clay soil, don’t fertilize, barely water, and it’s against a brick wall which faces south. Grand Prairie, TX zone 8 |

It not only tolerates, but thrives in many soil situations. It can be trimmed to stay very small, or you can let it grow to a nice, rounded, 6 feet or more. The leaf color is a bright chartruese, that when used as an accent leaf color in the garden, can effect a VERY striking display. I can't attest to the scent of the flowers, but the rich purple of its autumn leaves is stunning. The leaves are held long into winter in Michigan. |

JUNE 2011: Has been a fast grower and a very easy plant. I am trying to created a yellow hedge w/ this plant--this spring it was positively spectacular. As we get to the height of summer, the interior foliage turns from yellow to light green. Still, the outer tips are as yellow as can be. Highly recommend this plant. |

Some of these still can be seen around, but they don't seem to be nearly as popular anymore. Perhaps I wasn't the only one whose eyes they hurt to look at. They don't seem to be spreading by seed and hence don't have the invasiveness which many other Privets seem to have, especially the Glossy Privet (Ligustrum lucidum). |
