- Planting & Care
- A thick, semi-evergreen hedge that provides excellent screening and retains foliage through winter.
- Features small, oval green leaves and masses of fragrant white flowers in summer.
- Attractive, round black berries follow the flowers in autumn, providing seasonal interest.
- A robust, fast-growing plant that can reach 5m but is easily kept as a neat hedge between 1-4m.
- Endorsed by the RHS as a 'Plant for Pollinators', attracting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects.
- Species: Privet
- Features: Evergreen
- Flowering Time: May, June, July, August
- Flower Colour: Small white flowers in summer
- Planting Time: January, February, March, October, November, December
- Position: Full sun
- Habit: Bushy, upright
- Hardiness: H4 - Hardy through most of the UK (-10 to -5°C)
- Growth Rate: Average, expecting 20-40cm per year
- Eventual Spread: Spreads 2.5-4m unless pruned
- Soil: Thrives in any well-drained, fertile soil. Will tolerate less than perfect conditions but prefers loamy soils. If your soil is heavy or sandy, mix in some perlite or fine horticultural grit when planting to improve drainage. Avoid very wet areas.
- Planting: Suitable for coastal regions, though some leaf drop may occur in winter.
- Pruning: For a formal hedge, trim twice a year – once in early June and again in late September. It is important to prune at the right time, so as not to remove new growing shoots.
- Pests & Diseases: Generally has good resistance but may be susceptible to aphids, leaf-mining moths, and honey fungus.
- Caution: Somewhat toxic if consumed. Always wear gloves when handling and wash hands afterwards.
