Ligustrums 
The Most Popular Broad-Leaf Evergreens 
A group essential to landscaping. The word 
“Ligusuum” (L) refers to a large family of plants 
whose individual members are widely different in 
their various characteristics. The group is by far 
the largest and most generally successful among 
our broad-leaf evergreens. Individually and as a 
group their beauty is unrivalled. All of the Ligus¬ 
trums are valuable for ornamental planting be¬ 
cause of rich coloring, clean habit, vigorous, 
healthy nature. Panicles of fragrant white blos¬ 
soms are borne profusely in Spring, followed by 
showy fruits in shades of purple, resembling- wild 
grapes. 
BUSHY TYPE 
Wax Lucidum. The finest of all Ligustrums. In 
appearance it has the finest quality of any 
broad-leaf evergreen, and is exceedingly hardy 
and resistant to abuse. The foliage is deep rich 
green, almost black. The leaves are very thick, 
beautifully shaped, and glisten as though pol¬ 
ished. 
Iwata or Variegated Nepalense. Characterized by 
mottled shades of light yellowish green in center 
of leaves; this rather compact, low-growing Li- 
gustrum is deserving of a place in every plant¬ 
ing. Leaves are small, thick, very shiny. Main¬ 
tains a wide-spreading, well-formed, symmetrical 
shape. 
Nepalense. Medium size, dark green, glossy leaves; 
uniform, compact spreading growth. A very at¬ 
tractive plant, essential to landscape planting in 
masses, banking or groups.
