Ligustrum ovalifolium ‘ Golden Hedge'
Notes

This plant is best know as the 'Golden Privet' and was popular as a hedging plant. The variegated yellow and green leaves are distinctive and can be clipped very tight.  Heavy displays of white flowers in summer attract bees and other insects.   L. ovalifolium is the non variegated form.
