Privet Varieties - Ligustrum Species

Green Privet is probably the best evergreen hedge plant for urban areas. It will thrive in compacted, polluted soil next to a main road and it tolerates close to full shade. Golden Privet is just as tough and has variegated yellow & green leaves.
Native, Wild Privet is the cheapest option. It isn't a full evergreen and it is widely planted in country hedges or as a tall shrub for wildlife cover, especially along the shady edges of woodland.
Privet grows to 4 metres tall.
Griselinia littoralis, known as New Zealand privet, is a similar looking plant that will grow on salty soil, close to the sea.
