#ProPlantTips for Care

Plant it where it will receive at least four hours of sun a day. Good air circulation will benefit your shrubs, so pull them out away from the sides of buildings.

These deciduous shrubs perform best in well-drained soil. You'll want to use Nature Hills Root Booster while planting for significant benefits that last the entire life of your hedge.

Although established Privets become moderately drought tolerant...you'll want to protect your investment with supplemental water. Apply a moderate amount of water on a regular basis to keep your plants happy and stress free.

Prune to shape in early spring. It's ok to wait until after the fine-textured, fragrant flowers are finished.

The more you prune the denser and bushier this shrub gets. Keep them trimmed in a tall triangle shape, where the bottom is wider than the top.

You'll find so many ways to enjoy this hugely popular, graceful hedging plant on your property. We recommend that you order enough North Privet Hedge to complete your entire project at the same time.
