Pot Grown Golden Privet
(Ligustrum ovalifolium 'Aureum')

Golden Privet, also known as Ligustrum ovalifolium 'Aureum,' is a semi-evergreen species with green, yellow-margined, variegated leaves.

We've dedicated time and care into growing your pot grown plant, so it arrives looking stunningly new and healthy.

The lovely, variegated leaves on the̴Ì?Golden Privet are complemented with attractive, creamy-white flowers in the Summer, which are loved by insects. It is a little less hardy than Green Privet (Ligustrum ovalifolium), and will therefore do best when clipped to form a traditional, dense hedge.̴Ì?

Golden Privet is tolerant to pollution, making it a highly popular choice for suburban and urban gardens- though it will grow pretty much anywhere, if it is not seriously wet.̴Ì?

Please note that the leaves are harmful if eaten. The plant may also defoliate after planted (being bare root), but it will soon recover in Spring.̴Ì?

Golden Privet has an average growth rate of 20-40cm per year and will reach an ultimate height of 4m.

  • Growth rate: Average (20-40cm per year)
  • Ideal height: 4m+ Tall
  • Soil type: Normal, chalk, clay
  • Exposure: Inland, exposed
  • Aspect: Full sun, semi-shade
  • Evergreen foliage? Yes

As it is pot grown, you can easily leave the plant in its pot for a few days/wees before planting it. Just ensure you keep the plant well-watered and it gets enough sun. Don't leave it for too long, however, as you don't want the roots becoming root bound.

You will need to trim your Golden Privet regularly throughout its growing season- about 2/3 times during the Summer months. This will help encourage a bushy, dense plant.

  1. Prepare the soil by mixing in some compost. Dig the hole- this will have to be about twice the width of the root system, but the same depth.
  2. Remove the plant from its pot by placing one hand on the base of the plant, and the other at the bottom of the pot. Wriggle the pot away gently.
  3. Untangle the roots a little as they may be clumped together.
  4. Place the plant into the hole, ensuring the base of the stem is level with the surface of the soil. Follow this with backfilling the hole with your soil mix, and patting down to lightly secure.
  5. When you're done, thoroughly water the plant. Ensure you regularly water throughout its first year, as the plant needs plenty to be able to settle down, recover, and establish.

Root Types Summary

  • Bare Root
    Bare Root

    Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.

  • Pot Grown
    Pot Grown

    Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.

  • Root Ball
    Root Ball

    Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.

  • Instant Hedging
    Instant Hedging

    Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hegding troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
