Shrubs for Light Soils: Wild Privet (Ligustrum vulgare)

Wild Privet is a semi-evergreen which prefers light soils, and rather larger and less compact than the Garden Privet which superceded it in gardens. It is a fabulous wildlife shrub, however. Its small flowers attract insects, and birds (especially Thrushes) enjoy the cover it affords and its black berries, which are poisonous to humans. Furthermore, it is a foodplant for a number of butterfly and moth larvae, including the spectacular Privet Hawk Moth pictured.
Other Lepidotera larvae that feed on Wild Privet include 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.

See our planting and size guide for details and tips on planting. These trees are all bare root, and are consequently available for delivery from November until March ( please ask if you are interested in pot grown plants). During the lifting season there may be up to two week’s delay between placing the order and dispatching, due to weather conditions or pressure of orders, which are dealt with in date sequence. Orders placed between March and September are confirmed in October ready for dispatch from November.
