Single Row Planting: In a single row hedge, plants are spaced evenly along a straight line. This method is ideal for narrower spaces and creates a simple, clean boundary. It’s more cost-effective and requires fewer plants, but may take longer to fill out and provide full privacy.
Double Row Planting: A double row hedge consists of two staggered rows of plants, creating a denser and fuller hedge. The staggered layout provides more coverage and better privacy, making it ideal for creating thicker screens or windbreaks. However, it requires more plants and space compared to a single row.

Ligustrum vulgare 'Atrovirens' is a vigorous, robust variety of common Privet. This reliable shrub makes a superb free standing shrub or semi-evergreen hedge, even in particularly cold areas and exposed sites. Primarily grown its oval green foliage which forms a dense screen, Ligustrum also produces a good display of small white flowers in midsummer followed by glossy black fruits, giving plenty of interest throughout the growing season. Height and spread: 200cm (78").
Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
While Ligustrum are usually evergreen plants, staying in leaf through winter, severe cold temperatures can cause them to drop some or all of their leaves. This is a natural reaction and causes no permanent damage even when specimens lose all their leaves. New growth comes back quickly in spring.

Thompson & Morgan strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3
