Ligustrum japonicum Rotundifolium

Ligustrum japonicum ‘Rotundifolium’ is a broadleaf evergreen shrub selected for its thick, rounded leaves and dense, upright habit. This cultivar forms a substantial, glossy green presence in the landscape and has long been used for hedging and screening in milder climates. It grows best in full sun to partial shade and tolerates a range of soils, provided drainage is good. Hardy in USDA Zones 7–10, it grows at a moderate rate and typically reaches 8–12 feet tall, making it a strong evergreen backbone plant where winter structure is desired.
