Like other varieties of Privet hedging plants, Silver Privet is a tough plant that will adapt to most situations, even on more exposed sites. Grow them in any soil type as long as good drainage is provided. These colurful shrubs will do well in full sun or partial/moderate shade.

Ligustrum ovalifolium Argenteum can be maintained as a beautiful moderately sized hedge from 90cm or so up to two metres or more, so tall enough to give privacy or screening if required. Trim them as necessary during the season, trimming once each season will keep them in good order, twice a year will keep them very neat and tidy, more of a show garden look.

Silver Privet would be a good choice to fill more difficult areas in larger groups, the shrubs would need little more than an annual trim to keep them looking tidy.

We recommend adding Rootgrow to the planting holes to give these shrubs the best possible start and encourage faster growth, once well established Ligustrum ovalifolium Argenteum is a drought resistant and low maintenance shrub.
