Description

For a hedge that combines vibrant colour, robust performance and year-round structure, Golden Privet 'Aureum' is hard to beat. This evergreen favourite takes the dependable qualities of classic privet and adds a splash of sunshine, with glossy green leaves edged in bright golden-yellow. The result is a hedge that not only defines your garden's boundaries but also lifts and brightens the whole space.

Quick to establish and fairly fast-growing, 'Aureum' will soon form a dense screen, bringing privacy and shelter. Its closely packed leaves clip beautifully into neat lines, making it a top choice for formal hedging and topiary. Trim it two or three times during the summer and you'll be rewarded with a thick, uniform hedge that looks immaculate. Leave it untrimmed, and you'll enjoy clusters of fragrant creamy-white flowers in summer, followed by glossy black berries, a feast for bees, butterflies and birds alike.

Evergreen in nature, it retains its leaves through winter, before erupting with fresh new growth in spring. It's also incredibly adaptable, thriving in sun or partial shade, in town or country, and even in coastal gardens where salt-laden winds can challenge other plants.

Whether you want a smart, formal hedge, a colourful boundary or a versatile, low-maintenance screen, Golden Privet 'Aureum' is a tried-and-tested favourite that delivers season after season.

Top Tips
These nursery-grown plants have an excellent root system ready for planting. Plant 15-45cm apart depending on how thick you want your hedge to be.
Care Information

Plants are fairly qucik to grow and appreciate a rich soil with a sprinkling of bonemeal to get them off to a good start.

Happy in most soils except really boggy soil, plants should nevertheless be kept well watered until established.

Once established all you need to do it clip your privet hedge in summer using a hedge trimmer or shears. If plants are old or out of shape they can be cut back into old wood as they will regrow.
