About̴Ì?Pot Grown Green Privet

Privet hedges are generally known for their deep and rich green, oval-shaped leaves and masses of elegant white flowers that bloom through in summer- attracting many bees and butterflies. The plant is well-known for its dense foliage which can offer privacy and protection against pollution, making it suitable for both urban and suburban gardens.

Besides this, Ligustrum ovalifolium flowers can provide a beautiful feature in July and August, and the berries attract many varieties of birds and other species of wildlife.

Pruning & Care

As it is pot grown, you can easily leave the plant in its pot for a few days/weeks 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.

Hedge trimming must be done twice a year to maintain your Privet hedging, and this should be done firstly in early June, and then again in late September. It is very important to ensure you prune at the right time, because you do not remove the new growing shoots.
