Establish a dense, fast-growing privacy hedge with Hardy Privet (Ligustrum vulgare). This extremely adaptable shrub has long been a favorite for formal hedges, windbreaks, and landscape borders due to its vigorous growth and tolerance to pruning. Ideal for large planting projects, this bulk 200-seed pack is perfect for creating extended privacy screens or property boundaries.

In early summer, privet produces clusters of small white tubular flowers with a strong, sweet fragrance. These blooms are followed by glossy black berries that persist into winter and attract birds and wildlife.
