Nantucket Privet
Ligustrum ovalifolium 'Nantucket', commonly known as Nantucket Privet, is a versatile and hardy evergreen shrub prized for its dense foliage and robust growth. This cultivar features oval-shaped, glossy green leaves that provide year-round interest and are ideal for creating privacy hedges and screens. In late spring to early summer, it produces small, fragrant white flowers that attract pollinators, followed by small black berries in the fall, adding seasonal interest. The Nantucket Privet typically reaches a height of 8 to 10 feet with a spread of 5 to 7 feet, but it can be easily pruned to maintain a desired shape and size, making it suitable for formal hedges or naturalistic plantings. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, this shrub adapts well to a variety of soil types and is highly tolerant of urban pollution, making it an excellent choice for city gardens. With its robust nature, low maintenance needs, and year-round foliage, Ligustrum ovalifolium 'Nantucket' is a reliable and attractive option for enhancing privacy and structure in any landscape.
