Create a dense, fast-growing privacy hedge with Hardy Privet (Ligustrum vulgare). This classic European shrub is widely used for hedging thanks to its vigorous growth, adaptability, and tolerance to pruning. Ideal for privacy screens, windbreaks, and formal borders, privet responds beautifully to shaping and can also be trained as topiary or bonsai.

In early summer, clusters of small white tubular flowers bloom with a strong, sweet fragrance. These are followed by glossy black berries that persist into winter and attract birds. Privet thrives in urban settings and tolerates cold, drought, wind, and a wide range of soil types (except waterlogged soil).

You will receive:
✔️ 100 Privet shrub seeds
✔️ Fast-growing hedge variety
✔️ Ideal for privacy screens and windbreaks
✔️ Clearly labeled seed packet
✔️ Sowing instructions included
