A familiar feature of towns, villages & countryside all over the UK, the Privet hedge is one of Britain's favourites! & for good reason too. It is fast-growing, easy to trim & maintain, & it lasts many years. It grows in sun or deep shade & makes a neat & tidy hedge. It is rarely troubled by pests or disease. Ligustrum ovalifolium produces clusters of white flowers but if the hedge is trimmed regularly these are unlikely to form.
