Griselinia Instant Hedge

Griselinia littoralis is a wonderful evergreen instant hedge, also known as Broadleaf or New Zealand Broadleaf, it has has leathery leaves which are an attractive light apple-green with inconspicuous yellow-green flowers in the spring followed by purple fruits on female plants in the Autumn.

This hedging plant is excellent for coastal locations as it is particularly tolerant of salt laden winds – indeed the ‘littoralis’ translates as ‘growing by the sea’.

Broadleaf instant hedging prefers acidic to slightly alkaline soil in either full sun or part shade. It is sensitive to a heavy frost so should be planted in a sheltered place although any damaged shoots can be pruned out and will regrow. It is therefore typically used as a hedge or evergreen screen in southern coastal locations but also does well in warmer inland areas.

Griselinia is fast growing (30 – 40 cm/year) and should be trimmed at least once a year, in July or August.

Currently available at 90/100cm, 1.5/1.8m and 1.8m high as trough grown Practical Instant Hedge™.
