Privet hedging is a very popular, semi-evergreen species. It is mainly evergreen but may lose some (or all) of its leaves when faced with severe winter conditions.
Bare Root Green Privet plants are only available to buy and plant during November - March, but can be pre-ordered at any time outside of the bare root season.
Generally known for their deep, rich green, oval leaves, Privet hedging also boasts masses of pretty, white flowers that bloom during Summer- meaning the plant is very popular amongst bees and butterflies!
The plant is also well-known for its dense foliage, which can offer privacy and protection against pollution- it's the ideal species for both urban and suburban gardens.
That all being said, as this variant of Beech hedging is a Bare Root, you will need to plant as soon as you can after being delivered.
As soon as you receive your Privet Bare Roots, you will need to place them into a bucket of fresh water for at least 2 hours. The roots must be wet before planting. Ensure you drench the planting hole before and after planting too- but do not let it become waterlogged (place in a well-draining soil).
In terms of pruning, hedge trimming can be done twice a year- firstly in June, then again in late September. Only prune at these times as you do not want to remove any new growing shoots.

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.
