Ligustrum vulgare 'Variegated Privet'
Ligustrum vulgare 'Variegated Privet', known as variegated common privet, is a deciduous to semi-evergreen ornamental shrub valued for its bright foliage and high tolerance to urban conditions. This variety forms a dense, rounded bush with medium-green leaves elegantly margined in cream, bringing a lot of brightness to hedges, borders, and shrub beds. In early summer, small creamy-white flowers clustered in panicles appear, emitting a light fragrance and attracting pollinators. These are followed by decorative purplish-black berries that often persist into autumn and are appreciated by birds. Very hardy and easy to cultivate, this privet tolerates regular pruning well, making it an excellent plant for structured hedges or visual screens.
