Ligustrum rotundifolium, commonly called Japanese Privet, is a compact shrub with thick, glossy, rounded wavy leaves. Makes an ideal specimen plant in containers and a great chunky-looking hedge. Bears large panicles of cream flowers in summer followed by black berries.

Commonly known as round-leaved privet, an evergreen shrub native to East Asia, particularly China and Japan, it is widely cultivated for its ornamental value.

Ligustrum rotundifolium is a medium-sized shrub that produces small, white, fragrant flowers in late spring or early summer. The flowers are borne in clusters called panicles and attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. After flowering, this shrub forms small, black berries that ripen in late summer or fall. The berries are attractive to birds.

Ligustrum rotundifolium is often used as an ornamental shrub in landscapes and gardens. It is suitable for hedges, borders, foundation plantings, and can be trained into topiaries or screens. Relatively low-maintenance. It prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Pruning can be done to maintain its shape and promote dense growth.

Flowering: Spring [October - December]
Fruiting:    Summer [January - March]
