Ligustrum ovalifolium 'Aureum' (Golden Privet) 100-120cm (5L)
Product Description
Common name: Golden Privet
Golden Privet is a quick growing, evergreen/semi-evergreen shrub with oval, variegated gold and green leaves. It produces clusters of pretty white flowers from August to September (only if not pruned every year) followed by black berries in August. Privet is excellent for formal hedges as it can be clipped regularly into sharp shapes to create a lush, dense hedge (prune twice a year in late spring and mid summer). Alternatively it can be left to grow into a more informal shape, where it will flower and fruit freely. Grows well on any well-drained soil. Prune to desire height, between 2-10ft. Can also be planted interspersed with Green privet
