Description
California Privet (Ligustrum ovalifolium) is a fast-growing, hardy hedging shrub ideal for creating lush privacy screens and defined garden borders. Known for its adaptability, this semi-evergreen shrub thrives in full sun to part sun and handles a wide range of soil types with ease. Its dense, upward-growing habit reaches up to 10 feet tall and wide, making it an effective and attractive barrier plant.
In late spring, panicles of creamy white, lightly fragrant flowers appear at the branch tips, adding a subtle seasonal flourish. Though heavy pruning may reduce flowering, this shrub responds exceptionally well to shaping, allowing you to maintain a tidy, formal hedge or a more natural look. Glossy, dark green leaves often persist through winter in milder climates, contributing year-round interest. Resilient, low-maintenance, and versatile, California Privet is a tried-and-true solution for structure and privacy in the landscape.
Each plant comes in a #3 (3 gallon) growers container. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
