Wax Leaf Privet Is Serene, Green, and Seasonless
This hedge can reach as tall as a twelve-foot height with a six-foot width. The leaves are bright green, glossy, oval, and as many as four inches long. The best part is how they keep that lovely look throughout every season.
Springtime brings a serene display of cross-shaped, creamy flowers with four to five petals each. While small in size (under 1" each), they are abundant.
Those tiny blossoms produce dainty flat berries that stay under 1/4" across. Although humans have no use for these berries, watch as the local wildlife forages for them.
