Amur Privet is a stately shrub that makes for a very effective and beautiful hedge. White flowers grow in full and abundant clusters against dark green foliage. The flowers are replaced by small black fruit that ripens by the fall. Also known as Ligustrum amurense, this deciduous shrub is semi-evergreen in warm climates.

This densely branched shrub is full, making it an excellent privacy screen or hedge. This cultivar can grow to be very large, and it responds well to pruning, so you can ensure it fits your space and the desired look. Butterflies are drawn to the flowers, and birds will flock to the plant to feed on the berries. This lovely shrub needs at least 4 to 6 hours of sunlight. Amur Privet can handle various soil types, but the soil must be well-drained because this plant does not like wet feet.
