Privet is very adaptable and can cope with almost any location. Nevertheless, you should choose a good place so that the privet grows quickly. What is the right location for privet?
Privet likes it sunny
Location for privet not in the shade
- Sunny
- semi-shady
- not shady
- water-permeable soil
Privet likes it bright. Direct shade is not necessarily suitable, as the shrub does not grow well here and has few leaves.
It is important that the soil is well drained, because privet cannot cope with waterlogging. If necessary, create drainage before planting.
Since most varieties of privet are hardy, the shrub does not need a particularly sheltered location. Only younger plants should not be exposed to too much winter sun in winter.
tips
You can cultivate privet as a hedge, as a single shrub or in a bucket. Because of its good pruning tolerance, it is also often kept as a bonsai.
