Wild Privet (Ligustrum vulgare)

Wild Privet is a semi-evergreen which prefers light soils. It is rather larger and less compact than the Garden Privet which superceded it in gardens. It is a fabulous wildlife shrub, however, and a helpful hedge plant. Its small flowers attract insects, and birds (especially Thrushes) enjoy the cover it affords and its black berries, which are poisonous to humans.
Furthermore, Wild Privet is a foodplant for a number of butterfly and moth larvae, including the spectacular Privet Hawk Moth shown on the left. Other Lepidotera larvae that feed on Wild Privet include the Meadow Brown, Gatekeeper, Ringlet, Scalloped Hazel, and V-Pug.
Provenance certificates are available on request for Wild Privet plants, which are from the Southwest of England.
