Privet Instant Hedge
Privet (Ligustrum ovalifolium) is a vigorous shrub that is a popular choice for instant hedging, particularly in suburban areas. The shiny semi-evergreen leaves of a Privet Instant Hedge are oval, pointed and somewhat leathery. They are mid-dark green and yellow-green underneath.
A Privet 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 1.8/2m high available as both a Practical Instant Hedge, supplied in 1m long hedge bags, and as an Elveden Instant Hedge.
Privet has a fast growth rate (40 – 60 cm/year) and should be trimmed in regularly during the Summer months to maintain its shape.
