Griselinia originate from New Zealand and are just the ticket for use in exposed, coastal and balcony plantings in the UK.
Growth rate for Griselinia averages between 10-20cm a year and has a dense growth habit, so it is a great plant for creating a decent size windbreak in a short period of time. It is an easy plant to prune and is not fussy on soil as long as it is free draining. When in flower it is a great feeding stop for pollinators too.
We have a comprehensive range of options on site:
littoralis green glossy leaves. A popular choice reaching 2.5m in height.
littoralis Bantry Bay has densely cream and yellow variegated leaves and an upright habit. Height 2m
littoralis Redge has a compact habit with shiny green leaves with darker coloured leaf stalks and stems.

littoralis Green Horizon has darker glossier green leaves than straight Griselinia littoralis and is slightly bushier in habit. Height 4m
