Looking for a beautiful shrub that's easy to care for? Look no further than Ligustrum sinense, also known as Chinese privet. This deciduous plant is native to China, Taiwan, and Vietnam, but it's also been naturalized in many parts of the world. It grows to a height of 2-7 meters and boasts dense, hairy shoots, as well as fragrant white flowers. Ligustrum sinense is often cultivated as an ornamental plant and used for hedges, as well as being a popular choice for bonsai. It has cultivars available including the variegated 'Variegatum' and the dwarf 'Wimbei'. While it's low-maintenance and easy to grow, be aware that it can be invasive in some areas, so check with your local nursery for advice. Add some beauty to your garden with Ligustrum sinense today!
