Why Northern Privet is the Perfect Privacy Hedge for Your Garden
The Northern Privet Plant is resilient to pollution and other sensitivities common in plants. It endures in various hardiness zones and grows under anything from partial shade to full sun. Although it prefers moist soil, the shrubs can grow in flexible soil pH and water levels. These hedges are especially useful in urban areas like the Midwest, where there is a fair amount of pollution and salt on the roads for a large portion of the year. This fast-growing shrub is also salt-resistant.
How to Care for Northern Privet: A Complete Growing Guide
Another characteristic that makes it sound like a hedge in a densely populated area is the ability to fill in adequately pruned. With a potential growth rate of 3 feet per year, the shrub can reach a mature height upwards of 15 feet and 8 feet wide, and the dense leaves provide a natural privacy fence from a bustling city street. The hedge can be pruned and shaped to the desired effect, which should be done after flowering.
Northern Privet is seen flowering around late spring or early summer, usually in June, sometimes accompanied by a distinguishable smell. A more distinct characteristic of this plant, versus other everyday neighborhood shrubs, is that they produce blackberries, preceded by white flowers.
The Benefits of Northern Privet: Fast-Growing, Low Maintenance Shrub
Northern Privet have different characteristics depending on the region where they’re grown. They can sometimes be seen with gray-green spots and creamy edges. These qualities, along with their affordability, have made private hedges a top landscaping choice.
This Is How Your Plants Will Look upon Delivery
Plant bare-root shrubs during the more excellent spring or fall months, from November through April. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root system and slightly more profound than its height. Position the shrub so that the top of the roots is level with the ground, and put back the soil dug over the roots. Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds, ensuring the mulch does not touch the shrub's stem. Water regularly, especially during the first year, to establish strong roots. Prune shrubs as needed to promote healthy growth. In the spring, fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer suited to the specific needs of the shrub.
