Griselinia littoralis – 5 Litre Pot
Plant Highlights: Dense evergreen foliage all year • Fast-growing hedge for privacy and screening • Glossy apple-green leaves • Excellent choice for coastal and exposed gardens • Easy to clip and maintain
Overview
Griselinia littoralis, commonly known as New Zealand Broadleaf or Griselinia, is one of the most popular evergreen hedging plants for Irish gardens. Its glossy, apple-green leaves create a fresh, vibrant appearance throughout the year, while its naturally dense growth provides an effective screen for privacy, shelter and garden structure.
Well suited to both formal and informal gardens, Griselinia responds well to clipping and quickly forms a thick, attractive hedge. It also makes an excellent specimen shrub or backdrop in mixed borders.

Growing Guide
Plant in full sun or partial shade in well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season while plants establish, especially during dry weather. Once established, Griselinia is relatively tolerant of coastal conditions and short periods of drought, although it performs best with consistent moisture.
Trim once or twice each year to maintain a neat hedge. Pruning in late spring or late summer encourages dense branching and helps keep plants compact.
Why We Love It
Griselinia combines rapid growth with attractive evergreen foliage, making it an excellent choice where a hedge is needed in a relatively short time. Its bright green leaves provide year-round colour and create an attractive backdrop for flowering plants, while its tolerance of coastal conditions makes it particularly useful in many Irish gardens.
Good to Know
Griselinia thrives in free-draining soil and performs particularly well in mild coastal areas. It is suitable for use as a hedge, screening plant or standalone evergreen shrub, providing reliable structure throughout the year.
