privets
Common border plants
Privets are dense shrubs commonly used for hedges, prized for their rapid growth and tolerance of heavy pruning.
The small-leaved evergreen or semi-evergreen plants form tight barriers that block views and define property boundaries: The privet hedge needed trimming twice a year.
Native to Europe and Asia, privets are now widespread in temperate regions.
