Ligustrum Aureum The Golden Privet Hedge
21 years online - still growing strong
Golden Privet hedging is an attractive choice for creating dense garden boundaries with distinctive green and golden-yellow foliage. Ligustrum ovalifolium Aureum responds well to regular trimming, developing into a neat, well-branched hedge suitable for privacy, screening and defining garden spaces. Its colourful foliage provides an appealing alternative to traditional green hedging and brings additional brightness to boundaries throughout much of the year.
Golden Privet is a versatile hedging plant that combines the practical screening qualities of privet with attractive variegated foliage. Its vigorous, bushy growth makes it suitable for creating anything from neatly clipped formal hedges to more relaxed garden boundaries.
Regular trimming helps maintain a dense shape and encourages the colourful foliage that gives Golden Privet its distinctive appearance. Depending on growing conditions and winter weather, it can retain much of its foliage through the colder months, although some leaf loss is possible.
For the traditional green form, explore our Green Privet hedging when available. You can also browse our wider range of evergreen hedging for year-round screening options, or view all our hedging plants to compare different foliage colours, growth habits and boundary plants.
