Ligustrum Howardii (3 gallon)

Ligustrum Howardii, commonly known as Howard's privet, is an evergreen shrub native to the southeastern United States. This plant is characterized by its dense foliage and can grow to a height of about 4 to 6 feet, with a similar spread. The leaves are typically lance-shaped, glossy, and dark green, providing a lush appearance. Howard's privet is often used in landscaping as a hedge or foundation plant due to its ability to be easily shaped through pruning. It produces small, fragrant white flowers in the late spring to early summer, which can attract pollinators. Following the flowering period, it may develop small black berries. This shrub prefers well-drained soil and thrives in full sun to partial shade. It is relatively low-maintenance and can tolerate a range of soil types, making it adaptable for various garden settings. However, it is important to consider that, in some areas, ligustrum species may be considered invasive, so local guidelines regarding its planting and management should be checked.
