About Green Privet Bare Root 60-80cm Delivery from November

Green Privet (Ligustrum ovalifolium) Bare Root 60–80cm

Fast-Growing, Hardy Hedging – Bare Root for Seasonal Planting

Green Privet is a popular, classic hedging plant known for its vigorous growth, dense foliage, and year-round screening. Supplied here as bare root plants 60–80cm tall, it's perfect for cost-effective planting during the dormant season (November to March).

This semi-evergreen hedge produces small oval green leaves that remain on the plant through most of the year, especially in milder areas. It forms a tidy, compact hedge that responds well to clipping and shaping. Ideal for privacy, windbreaks, and borders, Green Privet offers fast results with minimal fuss.
