Variegated Chinese Privet – Bold Color and Reliable Structure

Variegated Chinese Privet (Ligustrum sinense ‘Variegatum’) is a striking and dependable shrub prized for its vibrant foliage and easy care. With its creamy white and green variegated leaves, this plant adds a bright splash of color to any landscape, whether used as a hedge, specimen plant, or foundation shrub.

Unlike traditional green privet, the variegated variety offers year-round visual interest with its distinctive foliage. It grows in a dense, upright form that responds well to shaping and pruning, making it ideal for formal hedges, low screens, or decorative borders. Left unpruned, it takes on a more natural, arching habit that softens garden edges and adds depth to planting beds.

Variegated Chinese Privet is fast-growing and thrives in full sun to partial shade. It tolerates a wide range of soil conditions and is moderately drought-tolerant once established. This adaptability makes it a favorite for both residential and commercial landscapes. In spring, it may produce small clusters of white flowers, attracting pollinators and adding seasonal charm.

This versatile shrub typically reaches 6 to 10 feet tall and wide, depending on how it’s maintained. Whether you’re looking to brighten up a shady corner, create a living privacy wall, or add contrast to green foliage plants, Variegated Chinese Privet offers dependable performance with minimal upkeep.
