Privet Hedge Plant - The Perfect Privacy Shrub

Privet plants are fast-growing and make excellent hedges, giving you a lush, green privacy screen in a short amount of time. Their dense foliage can be easily trimmed into clean shapes, adding structure and elegance to any landscape. Hardy and low-maintenance, privets thrive in many soil types, making them a dependable choice for homeowners.

The privet plant is the best-selling evergreen hedge-shrub for privacy and noise reduction at TN Nursery. Homeowners plant it near busy streets to drown out noise, lights, and nosy neighbors. It grows and thrives in many other countries, including the US. Homeowners and gardeners love it for its white flowers and ability to create privacy while adding to a home's curb appeal.

Privet Plant Ligustrum Ibolium - Northern Privet

The Ligustrum grows to heights of between 10 and 15 feet with a similar spread. This hedge develops white flowers in June and July, usually between two and four inches long. This evergreen shrub is a favorite for privacy and blocking out noise.

The leaves are oval and typically grow to between one and two and a half inches long. It's considered a fast-growing shrub; gardeners can expect it to gain one to two feet in height each year without pruning.

Privet Is The  Perfect Conifer Hedge

The Privet plant is most commonly used as a living privacy hedge or fence, garden maze, or in English or Victorian-style gardens because it can reach heights up to 15 feet. Gardeners can create thick, solid-looking walls with these bushes by planting them in a zigzagged double layer.

Once established, these bushes can be pruned to take certain shapes. Gardeners can even get creative with them by leaving large gaps between them and installing arches or gates to create elaborate entrances.

Companion Plants For Privet Plant

Gardeners who want to add depth and color around the Ligustrum can choose from many wildflowers, shrubs, and ornamental grasses. Some favorites include the sunshine ligustrum, peonies, lady's mantle, hostas, sedum, the New Zealand iris, boxwood, and Japanese holly.

Gardeners and landscapers will enjoy the hedge as part of a formal garden or living privacy fence. This versatile shrub can be pruned, shaped, and trained to grow around arches and wooden gates. It softens concrete walkways and adds depth and interest to homes.

How To Grow & Care Tips

How to Grow and Care for Bare Root Shrubs

Bare root shrubs are a budget-friendly and efficient way to plant during the cooler months when they’re dormant. Before planting, soak the roots in water for 3–6 hours to rehydrate them. Choose a site with the appropriate light exposure for the species—most flowering shrubs prefer full to partial sun. Dig a hole wide enough to spread out the roots and deep enough so the crown (where the roots meet the stems) sits level with the soil surface.

Mound a bit of soil at the bottom of the hole, spread the roots over it, and backfill with native soil while gently firming it to remove air pockets. Water deeply after planting to settle the roots. Keep the soil moist but not soggy during the first growing season to encourage healthy establishment.

Mulch around the base (not touching the stems) to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune lightly to remove any broken branches and to shape after the first flush of growth. With minimal care, bare root shrubs will leaf out beautifully and grow into reliable, long-term landscape anchors.

Privet Hedge thrives in total sun to part shade, needing 4-6 hours of total sunlight daily. It adapts well to different light conditions, but full sun promotes denser foliage and more vigorous growth, enhancing its hedge-like appearance.
