Green Privet Hedge Plants - Ligustrum ovalifolium
Green Privet - often misspelled Privit (Ligustrum ovalifolium) has evergreen, medium-sized dark green leaves and fragrant white flowers in mid-summer. Privet hedges are absolutely outstanding screens, which is why Privet and private share a common root - no pun intended for good reason. The dense foliage of a Privet hedge makes it impenetrable to curious eyes, privet grows rapidly forgiving the odd slip with the hedging shears and as it tolerates atmospheric pollution a Privet hedge is perfect for town and roadside hedging. When you add its ability to grow in just about any soil and in sun or shade it is easy to see why Privet hedging is so popular.
Being evergreen in all but the hardest winters, green Privet also provides cover for game and small animals. Oh, and it is an essential plant for those of us with children with stick insects as Privet is about all the little monsters - the insects that is - will eat.
