All reviews for category Ligustrum - Privet

Well-conditioned plants, received very quickly and in good condition. I am satisfied with everything I have purchased from Promesse de Fleurs since I have been a customer.

Plant with a flowering period too allergenic for the airways from mid-June to mid-July, not easily noticeable when the herbaceous plants are also in flower. Carry out a heavy pruning before flowering to limit this issue.

I completely avoid this plant, from afar and up close: it is too allergenic for me due to its pollen from mid-June to mid-July. And I'm not particularly allergic. Many people are unaware of this allergy because the fragrance is somewhat attractive and its pollination occurs at the same time as many young plants, and therefore during pollen alerts (from mid-June to mid-July). And I am not allergic or only slightly allergic to young plants. Furthermore, trimming the shoots at the base of the branches is very difficult, making it hard to cover the feet of the privet. It is important, at the very least, to limit the flowering through severe pruning in early June. This plant should only be tolerated in isolated areas and far from residential areas.

Whilst they are supposed to be rather evergreen, they arrived without any leaves and are starting to regrow 6 months later, but they are far from ready to form the desired balls!

This is the first time I order a root. No foliage, I still don't know if the roots are alive.

Good and fast for delivery, young plants well packed, difficult to do better.

Robust and healthy plant.

Unlike my first delivery, the naked young plants had sad appearances upon arrival, particularly dehydrated (same for the bucketed absinthes). I'm waiting to see how they recover...

I ordered 30 water subjects to create a windbreak hedge. The young plants were well packaged with a well-developed root system. While waiting to be able to transplant them, I soaked them in a tub of rainwater for two days. By the time I planted them, the few leaves had rehydrated well, and I have high hopes for their survival. I look forward to seeing how they will develop in the spring.

These naked root plants have spent the four days of Easter packed in their cardboard box at the GLS depot (who were unable to 'find our address'). Despite that and the strong winds after planting, they look very happy now. Thanks to Promesse de Fleurs for offering such healthy and robust flowers that withstand the test.
