Advice for Planting:

Sunshine Ligustrum's need full sun and soil that drains well. Shrubs like this may survive in a variety of soils, but they really shine in soil that is somewhat fertile. For best air circulation and growth, make sure to maintain the appropriate spacing.

Watering: 

To aid the plant in developing a robust root system, it is essential to water regularly throughout the first growth season. Once Sunshine Ligustrum has taken root, it can withstand moderate levels of drought. But if you water it frequently during dry seasons, it will grow healthier and keep its color.

Mulching:

To control soil temperature, reduce weeds, and preserve moisture, spread a layer of organic mulch around the shrub's base. Mulching is a great way to make your landscape seem better.

Pruning:

If you want your Sunshine Ligustrum to stay a certain size and shape, you must prune it regularly. Before new growth starts, in the late winter or early spring, is when pruning is done optimally. In addition to shaping the plant, this promotes a denser, more compact shape.

Fertilizing Instructions:

In the early spring, before the growing season begins, fertilize your Sunshine Ligustrum with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer like SR-18-5-10 slow release to supply it with the nutrients it needs. To prevent overgrowth and dull foliage, use fertilizer according to the dosage instructions on the container. Too much fertilizer might have the opposite effect.

Purchase our Slow Release fertilizer here SR-18-5-10.
