AVAILABLE AGAIN MID OCTOBER.
Gold Privet is an excellent hardy hedging plant. It grows quickly, clips very nicely and it will grow in poor, compacted soil in the shade, next to a busy road.
Privet hedges will reach 2 metres high, perhaps a bit more if it grows freely as a large shrub. Although it may drop its leaves in a harsh winter. This doesn't really affect the cover it provides:
Gold Privet regrows quickly from a clipping. It has scented white flowers in summer, followed by small black fruit in early autumn. Its leaves and fruit are eaten by butterfly caterpillars and birds respectively.
