How to Grow and Care for Your Ligustrum Delavayanum 3 Ball Stack
Soil – Prefers fertile, well-drained soil; will tolerate a range of conditions including chalky or sandy soils as long as drainage is sufficient.
Light – Best grown in full sun to light shade. Too much shade may reduce density and shape clarity.
Watering – Keep well-watered during dry spells, especially in its first year after planting. Allow soil to dry slightly between waterings to prevent root rot.
Maintenance:
-
Pruning – Clip lightly two to three times a year to maintain the tight ball shapes. Remove any wayward shoots and dead wood.
-
Mulching – Apply a mulch of organic matter in spring to conserve moisture and improve soil structure.
-
Winter Care – Hardy in most regions, though container-grown plants may benefit from some winter protection against extreme cold or wind.
Perfect Plant Combinations

Use in repetition to create rhythm, or as a solo accent for instant impact.
