Practical Instant Hedge™ Privet
Privet (Ligustrum ovalifolium) is a vigorous shrub that is a popular choice for an Instant Hedge, particularly in suburban areas. The shiny semi-evergreen leaves are oval, pointed and somewhat leathery. They are mid-dark green and yellow-green underneath.
This Instant Hedge likes any well-drained soil including chalk. Privet should be planted in sun or part shade. It is tolerant of Coastal Conditions and copes very well with air pollution.
We have Privet at 1.5/1.8m and 1.8m high available as a Practical Instant Hedge, supplied in 1m long pieces.
Privet has a fast growth rate (40 – 60 cm/year) and should be trimmed in regularly during the Summer months to maintain its shape.
Please note that due to the wet weather that we have been having this usually semi-evergreen hedge has been losing all of it’s leaves in the winter and then re-growing them in the spring.
