  2. Plant Combinations: Sunshine Ligustrum & Purple Daydream Loropetalum

Add a one-two punch of color to the landscape with the powerful combination of Sunshine Ligustrum and Purple Daydream Dwarf Loropetalum.

A dynamic duo of color and texture—Sunshine Ligustrum and Purple Daydream Dwarf Loropetalum perform beautifully together in the landscape

Pow! Bam! Zap! A dynamic duo of color and style, ‘Sunshine’ Ligustrum and Purple Daydream® Dwarf Loropetalum add unbridled energy to the landscape. Dramatic color defines this pairing with complementary hues that truly pop. Plant the duet as an eye-catching accent in a mixed border, or make a bold statement by lining a walkway in long swaths of purple and gold. Wherever you plant them, get grounded with a bed of EverColor® ‘Eversheen’ Carex. The delicate gold stripes of ‘Eversheen’ echo the vibrant hues of ‘Sunshine’ Ligustrum, while the fine leaf blades provide a contrast in texture. For a softer finish, carpet the ground in the creamy tones of EverColor® ‘Everlite’ Carex.

Sunshine Ligustrum and Purple Daydream Dwarf Loropetalum and EverColor Everlite or Eversheen would pair wonderfully together
