Ligustrum ovalifolium

Common Privet (Ligustrum ovalifolium) is known for its vibrant, oval-shaped foliage. This semi-evergreen species holds on to most of its leaves throughout the winter, only shedding in particularly cold conditions. During the summer, clusters of small, creamy-white flowers appear, releasing a sweet and floral fragrance (though some may pick up slightly spicy notes) that attracts bees and butterflies. These flowers give way to tiny black berries that are a hit with native birds.

Its dense, leafy foliage makes Common Privet an excellent choice for soundproofing and wind protection. Relatively fast-growing and easy to shape, Privet hedge plants produce up to 30cm of new growth annually and can be trimmed into crisp, clean lines or left slightly looser for a more natural look. This hardy species thrives in urban environments, coastal areas, and even polluted air conditions, making it a reliable choice for town or city gardens. It grows well in most soil types — except for waterlogged ground —and handles both full sun and partial shade with ease.

Ligustrum ovalifolium hedge plants come in bare root, root ball, pot-grown, and instant hedging varieties, making it simple to create beautiful boundaries. Bare root plants are a great value option during the dormant season (November to April), while root balls are available from November to early spring.* For year-round planting, choose pot-grown or instant hedging.
