About this plant

Category
Hedging

Golden Privet (Ligustrum ovalifolium 'Aureum') is a fast-growing, evergreen hedge plant ideal for year-round privacy. Supplied as pot grown, 20-30cm tall plants, this variety thrives in diverse UK climates—including windy, coastal, and shaded locations—and grows approximately 30cm (1ft) per year up to an eventual unpruned height of 3m (9ft).

Key Features

  • Evergreen, dense oval golden-yellow foliage
  • Fast annual growth rate: approx. 30cm (1ft)
  • Clusters of white flowers in late summer
  • Suitable for coastal, shaded, and windy sites
  • Pot grown for all-season planting and strong establishment

FAQs

  • Is golden privet a good fast-growing evergreen hedge? Yes, it offers rapid growth and year-round privacy with low maintenance.
  • How does golden privet compare to laurel for coastal gardens? Golden privet tolerates exposed and coastal conditions well—better than most laurels.
  • Will this privet provide privacy in windy areas? Its dense, flexible structure ensures reliable screening in exposed locations.
  • Benefits of pot grown vs bareroot hedging plants? Pot grown plants can be planted year-round and generally establish faster with less transplant shock.
  • Ultimate height if unpruned? Up to 3 metres (9ft), but easily maintained at lower heights.

Common questions

Bare root plants are field-grown and lifted dormant — the cheapest way to plant a hedge. Pot grown plants have an established root system and can be planted year-round. Root ball plants are mature field-grown plants lifted with a soil ball for instant height.
Pot grown plants can go in the ground at any time of year. Bare root is supplied dormant from November to March, and root ball plants are lifted in that same window.
