Howard Privet: The Easy-Care Shrub That Boosts Your Curb Appeal

This versatile shrub matures to a majestic 6-12 feet tall, letting you design a privacy screen that perfectly suits your needs. Plus, its lush green and white foliage adds a touch of elegance all year round. It tolerates dry spells beautifully and requires minimal maintenance, so you can spend less time watering and more time enjoying your tranquil escape.

  • Grows 6-12 feet tall, design your perfect privacy screen
  • Lush green and white leaves add year-round elegance
  • Thrives in dry weather and with minimal care
  • Slow and steady grower, maintains its beauty for years

The Howard Privet’s captivating foliage is a showstopper throughout the seasons. In spring, new leaves emerge with a glossy, bright green sheen, contrasting beautifully with the established darker green growth. As these new leaves mature, they take on a deeper, richer green tone, creating a captivating two-toned effect.

Throughout the summer, the rich green foliage remains the star of the show, offering a dense and luxurious backdrop for your garden. Come fall, unlike many shrubs, the Howard Privet doesn’t produce a dramatic color change. Instead, its evergreen nature takes center stage, providing a vibrant pop of color against the muted tones of the season.

During the winter months, when most plants appear dormant, the Howard Privet’s glossy, green leaves persist, offering a touch of life and warmth to your landscape.

How to Plant Howard Privet

Choose the Right Spot

For optimal growth, plant your Howard Privet in a location receiving at least 4 hours of direct sunlight daily. They tolerate some shade, but full sun promotes vibrant green foliage. Well-drained soil is essential; avoid planting in constantly wet areas.

Measure the Space

At maturity, Howard Privets reach 6-12 feet tall and 4-6 feet wide. When planting multiple privets for a hedge, space them 6 feet apart to create a beautiful and effective privacy screen.

Dig the Hole

Make a hole 2-3 times wider than the root ball of your container-grown Howard Privet, and slightly deeper than the root ball itself. Loosen the soil around the edges of the hole to encourage healthy root development.

Plant It

Carefully remove your Howard Privet from its container and gently loosen any circling roots. Place the plant in the hole, ensuring the root crown sits level with the surrounding soil. Backfill the hole and tamp gently to eliminate air pockets.

Water Thoroughly

Water your newly planted Howard Privet deeply, soaking the soil around the base until water runs freely from the drainage holes. This ensures a thoroughly saturated root ball for healthy growth.

Mulch and Care

Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base of the plant, keeping it a few inches from the stem. Replenish the mulch as needed throughout the year. Water deeply once a week during the first year, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Established Howard Privets are generally more drought tolerant.
