Waxleaf Privet (Ligustrum japonicum ‘Texanum’)

Heat tolerant and cold hardy, the Wax Leaf Privet is an evergreen shrub with lush, dense green foliage all year long, providing year-round interest. Requiring only low to moderate water use and thriving in full sun or partial shade environments, it is an easy to care for, fast-growing, small to medium shrub that blooms beautifully in the spring. Springtime brings beautiful, fragrant, white flower clusters that attract hummingbirds and other pollinators. This bird-friendly shrub will bring nature home, whether you have an urban or suburban garden in the Southwest or home along the coast.

Wax leaf privet is also amazing as a hedge and requires less maintenance than most other hedges, which is why Wax Leaf Privet  is used as a shrub between homes, as a privacy hedge or windbreak. If you live near busy streets, you will appreciate its excellent sound barrier features as well. Great for mass planting, you will often see the wax leaf privet shaped into pyramid forms for topiary gardens flanking walkways.
