Wild Privet is a deciduous, semi-evergreen plant that is ideal for providing nesting homes for birds, and is slightly larger but less compact than Ligustrum ovalifolium.
We've dedicated time and care into growing your pot grown plant so it arrives looking wonderfully new and healthy.
The creamy-white flowers on Wild Privet will appear in Spring, and are very popular amongst the birds and butterflies. It is rather tolerant to all soil types but cannot be planted in very wet sites.
Please note: The leaves and flowers of Wild Privet hedging are harmful if eaten.
Ligustrum vulgare is an average-growing plant which can reach an ultimate height of 4m.
Wild Privet will need to be pruned regularly throughout the Summer months. Make sure you stop pruning in late Summer- this will avoid any frost damaging the new shoots.
1. Prepare the ground by digging the hole/trench twice as wide as the diameter of the plant's root system, but about the same depth. Ensure all weeds have been removed.
2. Spread out the roots, ensuring planting depth is correct. The part where the roots flare out should be level with the surface of the soil (you may need to remove any excess soil on top of pot grown plants to reveal this point).
3. Mix in some organic matter/compost to the excess soil that will be used to backfill the hole. If you are using RootGrow, do so by sprinkling a thin layer on the bottom of the planting hole.
4. Water the hole well, and place the plant in. Backfill with soil, ensuring it is worked into the plant's roots. Gently pat down to secure the plant, and water again if it seems dry (this is especially important if planting during hot/dry weather).̴Ì?
5. Finish off by mulching to a depth of 7.5cm after planting. This will suppress weeds and help the soil to retain warmth and moisture.
6. Regularly water for the first year or so after being planted. This is vital for the plant's survival.

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 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.
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.
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.
Our bare root discount deals include bundles of 50, 100, and 250 plants. The bigger the bundle, the higher the discount.
