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.
Northern Privet Is A Fast Grower
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.
When The Northern Privet Blooms
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.
Northern Privets Have Different Characteristics In Different Locations
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.

What To Expect
The plants we ship are bare root and dormant. They have no leaves, blooms, greenery, or foliage. We do not ship plants in a container. Why pay 500% more for a container and heavy soil to be shipped? Also, dormant plants have a much higher survival rate than bloomed-out or leafed-out plants. We ship healthy bare-root plants because we know they will thrive in this state when planted. That's Why we offer a 1 Year Guarantee. We know when Spring time rolls back around, your plants will do exceptionally well.
