Overview: A privet grown for its green foliage edged in creamy white.

Mature size: Varies by cultivar, generally 6–12 ft. tall and 4–6 ft. wide unless sheared smaller.

Sun exposure: Full sun to partial shade

Flowering season: Late spring, with small white flowers (fragrance can be strong)

Hardiness: USDA Zones 6–10, depending on species

Water needs: Average; drought-tolerant once established, adaptable to most soils except constantly wet ones

Special features: Fast-growing, dense evergreen classically used for hedges and screens, tolerant of heavy shearing; note that privet species are listed as invasive in North Carolina by NC State Extension, spreading into natural areas from seed — regular shearing before flowers set seed reduces spread

Wildlife value: Bees visit the flowers; berries eaten by birds

Botanical name: Ligustrum sinense 'Swift Creek'
