Growth rate: Fast growth rate; mature height of 6-8 feet and width of 4-6 feet, but can be pruned to desired size and shape.

Please note: Images on our website depict plants and trees at full maturity to showcase their expected grown characteristics. These images are illustrative examples only and do not represent the size of plants or trees upon delivery.

Pruning: Responds well to pruning and can be shaped into formal hedges or topiaries. Prune in late winter to early spring to maintain desired size and density.

Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring to promote healthy growth and flowering.

Pest Management: Monitor for pests such as scale and treat as necessary to maintain plant health.

Choose a location with well-draining soil in full sun to partial shade. Dig a hole twice as wide and the same depth as the root ball. Plant the privet, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly. For a dense hedge, space plants 3-4 feet apart.

Waxleaf Privet Hedges benefit from regular watering during their establishment phase and thrive in full sun to partial shade. Reduce watering frequency once established, as it is relatively drought-tolerant. Performs best in full sun but can tolerate partial shade, which may result in a less dense growth habit. They are an excellent choice for gardeners looking for an easy-to-maintain hedge that offers privacy and year-round interest.
