Ligustrum japonicum "Excelsum Superbum"

This evergreen species is hardy in all but the coldest districts and would benefit from being placed in a sunny sheltered position protected from cold north and east winds. It has large, mid-green lilac-like leaves and the sprays of small white flowers appear in late summer. Makes a good screening plant and as a tree develops a round crown. 
This variety is an attractive variegated form with mid-green leaves marked pale green and edged creamy-yellow.
