Collection: Ligustrum (Privet)

Ligustrum, commonly known as Privet, is a popular evergreen or semi-evergreen shrub and small tree widely used for hedging, screening, and structural planting in UK gardens. Valued for its dense foliage and tidy habit, Ligustrum provides reliable year-round greenery and privacy, making it a practical and attractive choice for both formal and informal landscapes. Depending on the variety, leaves range from rich glossy green to softer mid-green tones, forming a compact canopy that responds well to shaping and pruning. In summer, many Ligustrum varieties produce clusters of small white flowers, often lightly scented, followed by dark berries that add seasonal interest and attract wildlife. Hardy, adaptable, and easy to maintain, Ligustrum suits a wide range of garden styles and is ideal for hedges, screens, pleached forms, or standalone standards.
