Planting Northern Privet Choose the right location: It thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. Ensure your chosen location receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Determine the spacing: To create a dense hedge, plants should be planted approximately 2-3 feet apart. The length and height of the hedge will determine the number of plants needed. Prepare the soil: Remove any weeds or grass from the planting area and loosen the soil to a depth of 12-18 inches. Add organic matter such as compost or well-rotted manure to the soil to improve drainage and nutrient content. Plant the Privet: Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and just as deep. Place the plant in the hole and backfill it with soil, pressing down firmly around the base of the plant. Water thoroughly.

It does well in zones 5 to 8 and is 10 to 15 feet high. 2. Golden privet is a genus named Ligustrum Ovalifolium Aureum. It does well in zones 5 to 8 and can grow to 8 to 10 feet tall. 3.

Its genus name is Ligustrum Obtusifolium. It does well in zones of 3 to 7. Please shear the bushes immediately after they have flowered. Later, you can clip them four or three times in summer.
