Ligustrum x vicaryi
Vicary privetCulture: This hybrid requires full sun to maintain a bright yellow foliage. Partial to moderate shade will result in a plant that is progressively more green. One of the major limitations of this form is its lack of cold hardiness. Dirr reports that the 'Storzinger Strain' and 'Hillside' selections have cold hardiness to USDA Zone 4b. Usage: This plant is inexpensive and sold in large numbers, however its bright yellow-green foliage rarely blends with other plant material in the landscape. It is most frequently used as a specimen or foundation plant. Resist the urge to plant this one! |
