Privet Shrubs for Sale

Privet shrubs are typically sold at 6'-7' tall and can mature to 10'-12' if left unpruned. Because they respond well to shearing, most homeowners maintain them as a formal hedge between 3'-4' tall for consistent privacy screening along property lines.

For a dense, continuous privacy hedge, privet shrubs should be planted 12"-16" apart. This spacing allows the narrow, columnar growth habit of each plant to fill in quickly, creating an unbroken visual screen along driveways or property boundaries.

Ligustrum ovalifolium privet is deciduous, meaning it loses its leaves in winter. However, it retains a dense branch framework that still provides meaningful screening during colder months, making it a practical choice for year-round privacy in most climates.

Privet shrubs perform best in full sun to part shade. This flexibility makes them adaptable to a range of residential and commercial landscape conditions, from open front yards to partially shaded property lines near mature trees or structures.

Privet shrubs are low-maintenance and generally free of significant disease or insect issues. Occasional shearing keeps them at a formal 3'-4' hedge height, but even with minimal pruning they remain healthy and effective as an informal privacy screen.
