Jack Frost Privet
This outdoor plant is also known as Japanese privet, and it’s one of the largest evergreen shrubs with bright, variegated leaves that have an irregular margin of white. They extend at six to ten inches each year and only grow to about ten feet tall.
The Jack Frost privet grows very well in partial shade and full sun and is an excellent example of deer-resistant shade plants. If you’re looking for privacy shrubs and hedges that don’t have dull green leaves, look no further than this privacy screen plant.
You can even turn this bush into a precision hedge plant with occasional trimming. This trusted tool from Amazon can help you out!
As a lifetime gardener with an acre of gardens, I still do have one neighbor who is nasty. He’s upwind, and sends me weed seeds from his riverbank he rarely tends to. Screens would be nice to keep out the seeds, if they could.
You do not list zones. You do not always list normal heights. You do not always list sun/pt shade/shade. That pic of ‘jack frost privet’ shows not white margins. Bamboo is not invasive? HA!! Seen it before, especially in warmer zones. I realize you had only so much room, but straightforward listing of the important stuff is so much more helpful than amusing literature.
Thanks!!
Privet is dangerous to horses. Bamboo is extremely invasive. What about fig trees or magnolias?
How much does the jack frost privet run. I am in BROOKSVILLE Florida. Would that be good here.
Can you tell me what outdoor plant would give us privacy?
We live in Casa Grande Arizona. We are in between Phoenix and Tuson.
Thank you.!!!!
