Griselinia littoralis 2ltr Pot

Griselinia littoralis is a fast-growing, evergreen shrub with glossy, bright green leaves, widely used for dense, reliable hedging and coastal shelter. It establishes quickly, clips neatly and makes an excellent year-round backdrop for other planting. Best in full sun to light shade and moist but well-drained, moderately fertile soil. If left untrimmed it can reach about 8 m tall and 4 m wide, though it is usually maintained much smaller as a hedge.

Feeding time: Spring (MarchApril), using a general-purpose fertiliser as new growth starts Trimming time: Late summer (AugustSeptember) to maintain shape; a light corrective trim in late spring (May) if needed

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
