Flowering Months

This semi-evergreen Ligustrum is better known by its common name of Privet. Often seed as a neatly clipped hedge, it makes a useful barrier shrub or stand-alone specimen, and can be easily pruned to shape. Small leaves cloak its spreading branches, retaining most of its foliage even in winter. The nectar-rich summer flowers are loved by pollinating insects and followed by glossy black berries which attract hungry birds in autumn. Ligustrum ‘vulgare ‘Liga’ is a robust variety which copes well in a wide range of conditions, and shows excellent wind tolerance on exposed sites. Height and spread: 200cm (78”).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

While Ligustrum are usually evergreen plants, staying in leaf through winter, severe cold temperatures can cause them to drop some or all of their leaves. This is a natural reaction and causes no permanent damage even when specimens lose all their leaves. New growth comes back quickly in spring.

How to Grow

Grow Privet in any well-drained soil in sun or partial shade. Plants will tolerate a wide range of soils, from sand to chalk and clay, and areas of pollution.

More Info

Ligustrum can be grown as a free-standing shrub or trained as a hedge. Free-standing shrubs will require minimal pruning; simply removed any dead, damaged or diseased growth each spring. Trim hedges in May and again in August. After pruning, mulch plants with 5cm (2”) of well-rotted compost or manure around the base of the plants.
