Waxleaf Ligustrum 15 Gallon Container

Waxleaf Ligustrum – 15 Gallon Container

The Waxleaf Ligustrum (Ligustrum japonicum 'Texanum') is a versatile, evergreen shrub known for its glossy dark green leaves, dense growth habit, and excellent tolerance to heat and pruning. Popular across the Southeast, it’s perfect for use as a privacy hedge, foundation plant, or small ornamental tree when limbed up.

Offered in a 15-gallon container, this Waxleaf Ligustrum is well-established and ready to deliver quick coverage and bold foliage presence. Its thick, waxy leaves hold their color year-round, and in late spring, it produces clusters of fragrant white flowers that attract pollinators.

Highly adaptable and low maintenance, Waxleaf Ligustrum performs well in full sun or partial shade and tolerates a variety of soils, drought, and urban conditions. It can be shaped into formal hedges or allowed to grow naturally into a large, rounded specimen.
