Ligustrum ovalifolium Readybag

Description

Green Privet (Ligustrum ovalifolium)

Green Privet (Ligustrum ovalifolium) is a traditional British hedge plant, widely recognized for its presence in gardens and urban landscapes throughout the country.

This hardy evergreen, known for its oval-shaped leaves, was introduced from Japan in 1885 and has since become one of the most commonly grown shrubs in the UK. It is highly adaptable, thriving in a variety of soil conditions and able to grow in shaded areas, including under trees and in spaces where tree roots are present.

In colder regions or when planted in poor soils, Ligustrum ovalifolium may lose some or all of its leaves during winter, but it remains resilient and continues to provide reliable coverage. If left to grow naturally, it produces white flowers and black berries, although regular trimming typically prevents this. To maintain a neat, dense hedge, it’s recommended to trim at least three times per year, shaping it with a slightly narrower top to ensure it stays leafy from top to bottom.

This readybag is ideal for quick and easy planting, providing an instant solution for creating a lush, green screen in any garden or landscape.
