    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Golden Privet. Gold leaves, heavy substance. Good for hedging.

    By: Hoot Owl Hollow Nursery

    Shared with us by Pat McCracken, this 5', compact shrub produces the same waxy, shiny leaves as the species but they are of a rich, warm golden. In full sun the tips bleach, giving it a two-tone effect; in more shade the protected branches maintain a spring-green tone. Clusters of creamy white flowers attract bees in spring. Provide even summer moisture. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7. A fine pot plant.
