Privet Hedge Varieties at Nature Hills Nursery
Privet hedges bring a timeless, elegant look to any property. These hardy, adaptable, and fast-growing shrubs create lush green walls that both define and enhance your landscape. Explore our wide selection of Privet varieties to find the perfect fit for your yard or garden.
What Is a Privet Hedge?
The name “Privet” dates back to the first century, recorded by Roman author and naturalist Pliny the Elder. Native to Europe, Northern Africa, and Central Asia, Privet shrubs have long been valued for both beauty and usefulness. Some species are even used in herbal medicine and flower arrangements.
During World War II in Britain, Privet hedges gained popularity as ornamental living fences when iron gates and railings were repurposed for the war effort. Today, these shrubs remain one of the most beloved choices for living boundaries.
Ligustrum shrubs are ideal for hedges thanks to their fine texture and dense branching. They respond well to shearing for a crisp formal look or can be left in a natural form, producing bird-friendly berries in fall.
- Beautiful backdrops to flower beds and garden borders
- Reliable privacy hedges and screening plants
- Low edging for pathways or garden filler
- Mass plantings for erosion control
- Striking single specimens or groupings
