Cheyenne Common Privet boasts a profusion of glossy green leaves on upright stems that can quickly reach eight to ten feet in height. Each spring, white blooms appear in airy clusters, followed by dark berries that draw in songbirds. Its dense foliage makes an excellent choice for establishing a lush, living privacy screen. Ligustrum vulgare 'Cheyenne' adds both practical coverage and seasonal charm to any landscape.
This shrub’s adaptability stands out, as it tolerates various soils and adapts well to both sunny and lightly shaded sites. The fragrant white flowers benefit pollinators, while the shiny leaves remain unpalatable to deer in many areas, minimizing damage. As a fast grower with a dependable branching habit, Cheyenne Common Privet can serve in group plantings, mixed borders, or single-row hedges. It tolerates urban conditions and offers a low-maintenance solution for creating an attractive green boundary.
Cheyenne Common Privet Care
Begin by planting in well-drained soil, preferably supplemented with organic matter to enhance root establishment. Position your shrubs so that they receive at least half a day of sun, though a bit of afternoon shade will not diminish their vigor. Water regularly at first to encourage strong roots, then transition to moderate watering once the plants mature. A balanced fertilizer applied in early spring can help sustain steady growth. Keep an eye on soil moisture to prevent either waterlogged roots or intense dryness, both of which can hinder performance.
For pruning, trim soon after the flowers fade if you want to preserve next year’s blooms and maintain a uniform appearance. Remove overgrown or weak branches to promote better air circulation. When shaping into a hedge, shear lightly throughout the summer as needed to sustain a neat profile. Should you prefer a more natural shape, only prune to remove damaged limbs or slightly reduce the overall size—Cheyenne Common Privet readily bounces back from even significant cuts.
Cheyenne Common Privet Spacing
Space these shrubs about two to three feet apart to create a continuous hedge of intertwining branches. If you desire a less dense planting or a distinct grouping effect, four feet between each plant works well. In container use, a pot at least 16 inches wide provides sufficient root room, though larger sizes are fine if you want to delay repotting. Should you decide to expand your hedge or reconfigure plantings, Cheyenne Common Privet can transplant readily when still young.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
