Privet

Overview

The glossy, oval leaves and clusters of fragrant white flowers in late spring are aesthetically pleasing, while the blackish berries attract wildlife. Adaptable to various soil types, it excels as a hedge or privacy screen. Note: its vigorous nature may require regular pruning to maintain shape. Zone 4-7 hardiness.
