Ligustrums are ideally suited for formal or informal hedges because of their large mass of
foliage and ability to tolerate heavy shearing as well as neglect. Hedge plants should
be spaced two feet apart for low formal hedges and four feet or more for
medium to tall formal or informal hedges. The variegated leaf forms should be
used with restraint as hedge or border plants due to their overpowering accenting
influence. These variegated forms can be used as accents when planted singly or as small
groups. Japanese and glossy privet are prized as multiple stemmed patio and specimen
trees. Specimen trees can be maintained in large containers with dramatic effects.
Privets can be planted throughout Florida with little fear of cold injury. They are tolerant
of the wide diversity of Florida's native soils and can be grown in full sun to partial shade.
Japanese and glossy privet are moderately salt tolerant but should not be used where
subjected directly to salt spray. Variegated Chinese privet is not salt tolerant.
Hardness Zones 7 to 10
