Ligustrum vulgare Details

Ligustrum vulgare, known as the Common Privet, is a fast-growing, compact shrub grown for its form, foliage, and flowers. It grows as rounded bush carrying small green leaves. The foliage is adorned with masses of white flowers during spring which literally transform the plant. This evergreen typically grows to 3 m tall and the same wide but is often contained with trimming. Best results with this variety are achieved when it is grown in full sun on a well-drained site, noting that it is tolerant of moderate frost, dry periods, and coastal conditions. Ligustrum vulgare is often clipped into a hedge, added to a mixed planting, or used as a backdrop for smaller plants.
