Privet shrubs reach a height of 4'-15' with a spread of 4'-8'. They bear white flowers in late spring-early summer; berries succeed the flowers. But privet shrubs are grown primarily for the dense foliage they can provide when pruned into hedges.
Plant Care Tips for Privet Hedges:

Prune these bushes after they have flowered; thereafter, prune them an additional 3 or 4 times during the course of the summer. Privet hedges will fill in better (i.e., the plants will become bushier) if they are pruned frequently.


Privet hedges prefer partial shade to full sun. Grow privet hedges in a soil that is slightly wet. Privet hedges tolerate a wide pH range.


Privet shrubs are used almost exclusively to form hedges. Not especially beautiful plants when considered in isolation, privet shrubs do excel in the role of hedges. They grow more quickly and are more malleable than boxwood shrubs, for instance (another shrub widely used in hedges). Privet hedges tolerate heavy pruning and don't seem troubled by the pollution that plagues plants in urban settings.
