Green Privet (Ligustrum Ovalifolium) is a dense, bushy, evergreen shrub perfect for hedging. Its large, glossy dark green leaves make it an attractive option for privacy or boundary hedging. With a rapid growth rate of up to 30cm per year, Green Privet thrives in a variety of conditions, from full sun to deep shade under trees. For optimal results, space your privet hedge plants 30-45cm apart to create a thick, lush hedge. In mid-spring, it produces small white flowers followed by cherry-red berries, adding seasonal interest to your garden.

Care Advice
We recommend pruning in either spring or summer. Mature plants can tolerate hard pruning in spring, cutting back to the old wood. This way the plant can keep its form nice and tidy but you can trim it more often if you have a specific shape in mind.
Plant Combinations
Green Privet is rarely grown with other plants and is usually the main feature in the garden with no need for any companions.
