Ligustrum Delavayanum 1/2 Standard 18 Litre Pot

Ligustrum Delavayanum or ionandrum is a great plant for topiary. It can be quickly grown and shaped into all manner of shapes and sizes. They have tightly packed evergreen leaves and black berries in winter. In very cold times they may lose some leaves but will re-break in the spring.They require clipping regularly to keep their shape and feeding with plenty of general-purpose fertiliser.

As with all shaped plants, when they are grown in pots they need special care in winter to protect the roots from freezing hard. You can wrap the pot with a sack and if possible bring them up to a more sheltered spot out of driving winds.
