Need a hedge... yesterday? You'll never, ever regret this fragrant choice.
There is a good reason that Amur North River Privet (Ligustrum amurense) is so popular. It's beautiful, low-maintenance, super speedy and can be kept to any size or shape.
It's incredibly cold hardy, and can thrive in both full sun or partial shade. Plant them and watch how quickly they establish themselves into a perfect hedge.

Butterflies and other pollinators will appreciate the nectar as a special treat. It's amazing to see how many are drawn to your yard in an enchanting display.
Leave the flowers on to develop into tiny, black drupes in the fall. They will tend to hang on into the winter for local songbirds birds to enjoy.
Or, trim those flowers off, and shear the plants into a multi-stemmed, dense growing shrub with oblong leaves. You'll love the expansive feeling that only occurs in a private yard.
Amur Privet isn't just an attractive and adaptable plant; it's also winter hardy, drought tolerant, transplants easily and is long-lived. In fact, it's so hardy that it thrives in almost any conditions.

Amur North Privet features new leaves that emerge with a purplish tinge and quickly age to shiny green. Include these plants as a wonderful backdrop to a wildlife garden.

When training your plants into a hedge, always be sure the lowest part of the plant is the widest part. Keep the tops a bit more narrow than the bottom, to encourage foliage all the way to the ground.
Renewal prune the oldest, thickest stems out at ground level each year. To start over fresh, if needed, simply cut all plants down to 2-3 inches tall and allow the plants to re-grow from the roots.
