Variegated Ligustrum

Ligustrum japonicum ‘Jack Frost’, commonly known as variegated Japanese privet, is an evergreen shrub prized for its glossy green leaves edged in creamy white variegation. It has a dense, upright growth habit that works well for hedges, screens, or as a standalone accent in the landscape. This cultivar adds brightness to garden beds year-round and can be easily shaped for a clean, formal look. Small white flower clusters may appear in late spring, followed by dark berries. Care Needs: • Light: full sun to partial sun • Water: moderate; water regularly until established, then as needed • Pruning: prune as needed to maintain shape; responds well to trimming • Fertilizer: apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring and again mid-season
