Golden Vicary Privet
Dense Evergreen Makes a Great Hedge The Golden Vicary Privet, Ligustrum X vicaryi 'Golden Vicary', is a large, hardy shrub with dense branches. They would make a great specimen shrub as well as borders, privacy screens & hedges. The Golden Vicary Privet is valued for its golden leaves. This lovely golden-leafed privet grows 8-10 feet high & wide with a vase-like or oval shape. Upright stems are covered with bright golden leaves in full sun, light green in shade. Aromatic, tubular-shaped, white flowers arrive in late spring. The flowers on the Golden Vicary Privet attract butterflies & other pollinators. Late spring and into summer the blooms change to small, dark, berry-like fruits. They add a layer of contrast against the bright foliage. The Golden Vicary Privet tolerates dry soil and looks its best when not pruned, although it can be pruned if it is being used as a hedge. Golden Vicary Privet prefers sun to partial shade; best appearance for leaf color is in full sun. This is a very hardy plant that adapts too many soil and moisture conditions. For an easy to grow, bright evergreen, the Golden Privet is a great choice. * Dense shrub makes a great hedge * Easy to grow * White spring blooms attract butterflies * Brilliant color year round
