Ligustrum ovalifolium 'Aureum' Hedging (Rootballed)
Golden Privet Hedging
A colourful, dense hedging plant with distinctive green and golden-yellow foliage, ideal for creating bright, attractive boundaries and privacy screening.
Ligustrum ovalifolium ‘Aureum’, commonly known as Golden Privet, combines the dependable hedging qualities of Privet with attractive golden-variegated foliage. Its oval green leaves are broadly edged with yellow, bringing additional colour and contrast to the garden throughout the growing season.
Golden Privet responds well to regular clipping and can be maintained as a neat formal hedge or allowed to develop into a taller screen. It is generally semi-evergreen, retaining foliage through much of a mild winter but potentially losing more leaves during colder conditions.
Why Choose Ligustrum ovalifolium ‘Aureum’?
Attractive green and golden-yellow variegated foliage
Provides excellent colour and contrast
Dense growth provides effective screening
Relatively fast growing and quick to establish
Responds well to regular trimming
Suitable for formal and informal hedging
Often retains foliage through much of a mild winter
Excellent for boundaries and privacy screening
Why Buy Rootballed Golden Privet?
Rootballed Ligustrum ovalifolium ‘Aureum’ is field-grown and lifted during the dormant season with soil retained around its root system.
This provides an economical way to establish larger plants and is particularly useful for longer hedge runs and projects where greater initial height and more immediate impact are required.
Available Sizes
Rootballed Golden Privet is available in a range of heights, subject to seasonal nursery availability.
Larger specimens provide greater initial impact and screening, while smaller plants can offer a more economical solution for longer hedge runs.
How Many Plants Do I Need?
Plant spacing depends upon the size selected and how quickly you want your hedge to develop into a dense, continuous screen.
Our hedging guide will help you calculate the appropriate number of plants for the length of your proposed hedge.

Important – Rootballed Plants Are Seasonal
Rootballed Golden Privet is lifted from nursery fields during the dormant season. Availability therefore varies according to the time of year, weather conditions and nursery stock.
For larger quantities or particular sizes, early ordering is recommended.
Delivery, Access & Planting
Rootballed hedging can be large and heavy, particularly at the larger sizes. Before ordering, it is important to consider delivery access, the route to the planting position and how the plants will be handled and planted.

Root balled hedging is one of the quickest ways to create privacy, structure and definition within a garden. Larger, established plants can provide an immediate sense of enclosure while reducing the time needed for a new hedge to develop into an effective screen. Because root balled hedging can be substantial in both size and weight, careful consideration should be given to delivery access, handling and the route from the delivery point to the final planting position.
Both root balled and bare rooted hedging is covered in this guide.
