Ligustrum — Privet 
Everybody knows what handsome hedges and screens this valuable 
group of plants can make when properly planted and trimmed. They 
grow vigorously in almost any situation, even in fairly dense shade and 
places where the soil seems always dry and barren. 
The plants of the varieties Ibota and Regelianum are frequently used 
as individuals in borders of flowering shrubs and are very effective. 
Flowers are not usually conspicuous, being in very small white, lilac- 
clusters. Privet also bear decorative black berries which persist into 
late fall and winter, creating a fine contrast when seen against the snow.
