Why Recurve Ligustrum Shrubs?
The Recurve Ligustrum, or Ligustrum Recurvifolium, is an upright evergreen shrub that adds color and texture with its broad, dark green, wavy leaves.
Appropriately named for its curving leaf tips, this versatile variety adds excitement and personality to any garden space. The Recurve Ligustrum serves as the perfect foundation, hedge or screen plant, offering year-round color and fast-growing, fragrant, white flowers that bloom in spring.
The best part of your Recurve Ligustrum? Its adaptability. Your Recurve Ligustrum will thrive in nearly any climate - including sun, shade and many different soil conditions. It has admirable resistance to deer, insects, drought and heat.

Planting & Care
1. Planting: This Ligustrum prefers at least 4 hours of sun, so look for a planting area with full sun to partial shade (anywhere from 3 to 6 hours of sunlight daily). Soil type doesn't matter, provided that it's well-draining.
When you're ready to plant, dig a hole that's large enough to accommodate your shrub's root ball, backfill your soil, and mulch the surrounding soil. Finally, water to settle the shrub's roots.
If you're planting in a container, select a pot that's about twice the size of your shrub's shipped container, use organic soil, and place in an area with adequate sunlight.
2. Watering: While tolerant of drought once established, good watering is important until your plant reaches that stage. You should water when the surface soil dries to 1 to 3 inches down by touch.
3. Fertilizing: Avoid highly soluble fertilizers if possible. Slow-release, organic-based nutrient sources are the best. Fertilize in early spring, after the threat of frost has passed.
4. Pruning: You can shear or prune your Ligustrum in spring, and remove dead or damaged branches at any time of year.
