The Thompson & Morgan Ligustrum Ovalifolium 'Aureum', commonly known as Golden Privet, is ideal for gardeners seeking a hardy, low-maintenance evergreen that provides consistent structural beauty and year-round color. Its primary benefit is its incredible versatility, serving effectively as a standalone feature shrub or a dense, colorful hedge, though potential owners should keep in mind that the plant is harmful if ingested and requires biannual pruning to maintain its desired shape.

Yes, all parts of the plant are harmful if eaten. Please keep it away from pets and children.
It should be pruned twice a year, specifically in May and August, to maintain a tidy hedge shape.
While it performs best in full sun, it is quite versatile and can thrive in partial shade as well.
Yes, this variety is highly adaptable and tolerant of various soil types, including clay, sand, and chalk.
The plant can eventually reach a height and spread of up to 400cm.
Yes, it is an evergreen, meaning it will retain its variegated green and gold leaves throughout the year.
Ensure the soil has adequate drainage, as roots may struggle in waterlogged ground.
The plant may be in a location that is too shaded; move or prune surrounding plants to increase light exposure.
When your 9cm potted plant arrives, transplant it into a well-drained site. It is compatible with almost any soil profile, from sandy to heavy clay. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball, position the plant, and backfill with native soil.
For care, ensure the plant receives consistent moisture during its first season as it establishes. To maintain a hedge, prune in late spring (May) and late summer (August). If you prefer a more natural appearance, minimal pruning is required, though you may lose some of the uniform shape. Keep the plant away from pets or small children, as all parts of the shrub are harmful if consumed.
