California Privet is a dense fast-growing evergreen shrub with an upright mounding habit often used as a hedge. Produces highly fragrant white flower clusters through spring, though while attractive the scent is considered unpleasant by many. Best color in full sun and moist well-drained soil. Despite the common name, it is not native.
