The Waxleaf Ligustrum is an evergreen shrub with a high tolerance for drought conditions, making it adaptable to most environments.

At maturity, the Waxleaf Ligustrum can grow to 8 feet in both height and width, although moderate pruning will allow owners to shape this plant into whatever shape is desired.

As a dense, upright shrub, it is most commonly used for hedging and border planting. The plant’s small, oval leaves are a dark black-green hue, contrasting with the creamy white flowers that bloom multiple times.

From late winter to early summer, the Waxleaf offers fragrant flowers that are followed by small, dull black fruit. Growing quickly during the summer months, Waxleaf Ligustrum will fill in any spot, quickly.
