Luminous shrub, MUSLI® is noticeable from a distance.
MUSLI® was discovered and selected as a seedling of Ligustrum ibota in Switzerland.

The foliage is more or less variegated, light grey-green with creamy white edges, sometimes so wide that they cover the entire width of the leaf.
When young, the shrub is of bushy and spreading growth with arching branches. Then MUSLI® forms an even bush with a dense centre. It is of moderate growth.
In early summer, the shrub will produce clusters of fragrant white tubular, nectar bearing flowers, turning into blue-black berries, which attract the birds.
This shrub tolerates cutting back and is suitable in topiary, in a monospecific or a mixed hedge.
