    Dense clusters of white flowers in July and August followed by shiny, spherical, black fruit and oval, yellow-margined, rich-green leaves. This vigorous, versatile, golden privet will happily grow in any well-drained soil. It makes an attractive hedge for a sunny urban or suburban site, retaining its leaves in all but the coldest winters.

  • Garden care: Plant immediately upon arrival into a well-cultivated area. Trim the hedge twice or three times during the growing season providing there are no nesting birds present. Apply a 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted organic matter around the base of the plants in early spring.
  • Humans/Pets: Harmful if eaten
