About Green Privet Bare Root 120/150cm

Green Privet (Ligustrum ovalifolium) Bare Root 120–150cm

Taller, Fast-Growing Hedging Plants for Quick Coverage and Privacy

Green Privet is a popular and reliable choice for hedging, offering rapid growth, dense foliage, and year-round interest. Supplied here as bare root plants at 120–150cm tall, these larger-sized specimens give you a valuable head start on establishing a full hedge—ideal where immediate screening is a priority.

With its semi-evergreen habit, Green Privet retains most of its bright green leaves through winter in all but the harshest conditions. Its upright, bushy nature responds well to trimming and quickly fills out into a thick, formal or informal hedge. In summer, untrimmed plants may produce fragrant white flowers, attracting pollinators.
