About Golden Privet Bare Root 40-60cm Delivery from November

Ligustrum ovalifolium ‘Aureum’ – Golden Privet Hedging 40/60cm Bare Root

Golden Privet (Ligustrum ovalifolium ‘Aureum’) is a versatile semi-evergreen hedge plant, valued for its bright yellow-green foliage that brings light and colour to garden boundaries all year round. Its dense habit makes it an excellent choice for privacy screening, while the golden foliage creates a cheerful contrast against darker evergreens.

In summer, clusters of small white flowers appear, attractive to bees and pollinators, followed by glossy black berries in autumn that feed birds. Golden Privet is hardy, quick-growing, and tolerant of pollution, making it especially useful for town gardens and urban planting. It clips neatly into shape and is easy to maintain.

Bare root plants in the 40/60cm size are ideal for establishing new hedges cost-effectively, growing on quickly to form a dense barrier.

Why Choose Golden Privet Hedging?

  • Bright Foliage – Golden leaves for year-round colour.

  • Wildlife Value – Summer flowers for pollinators, berries for birds.

  • Semi-Evergreen – Retains most foliage in mild winters.

  • Hardy & Urban-Friendly – Tolerates pollution and tough conditions.

  • Easy to Clip – Forms a neat, manageable hedge.
