Ligustrum × vicaryi
Ligustrum × vicaryi, known as Vicary's golden privet, is a deciduous to semi-evergreen shrub highly valued for its bright yellow foliage and great versatility in the garden. This variety forms a dense, rounded bush that brightens hedges, borders, and shrub beds with its oval, golden-yellow leaves that maintain their beautiful intensity in full sun. In early summer, the shrub produces panicles of small, slightly fragrant, creamy-white flowers that attract pollinators. After flowering, decorative small purplish-black berries appear and are appreciated by birds. Very hardy and easy to grow, this privet tolerates ordinary soils, urban pollution, and regular pruning well, making it an excellent choice for structured hedges or foundation plantings.
