The Ligustrum texanum ‘Silver Star’ is a graceful, evergreen shrub originally from the southeastern United States. This compact privet stands out for its distinctive variegated foliage and elegant appearance. With its bushy growth and glossy leaves, it’s a true eye-catcher in any garden or on the terrace.
