Create a lush, green garden boundary with Griselinia Littoralis, also known as New Zealand Broadleaf, a popular evergreen shrub valued for its glossy apple-green foliage and reliable growth. This versatile hedging plant provides excellent year-round colour, structure, and privacy, making it one of the most widely used evergreen hedge plants in UK gardens.
With its naturally dense and bushy growth habit, Griselinia forms an attractive screen that works beautifully along boundaries, pathways, and garden edges. It is particularly well suited to coastal locations due to its tolerance of wind and salt exposure, while also performing well in urban gardens and sheltered spaces.
Easy to grow and maintain, this hardy evergreen can be trimmed to create a neat formal hedge or left to develop into a softer natural screen. Supplied as an established 2 litre pot plant, ready for planting and future growth.
As a natural living product, each plant may vary slightly in shape, size, and appearance depending on seasonal conditions.
