Griselinia littoralis trough hedging

Griselinia littoralis, also known as ‘Broadleaf,’ is a highly regarded evergreen hedge plant, prized for its unique apple-green, leathery leaves that provide a vibrant and natural screen in any landscape.

Native to the temperate regions of New Zealand, Chile, and Brazil, this plant is best suited to coastal areas or sheltered inland locations where it is protected from frosts and cold winds. Griselinia thrives in free-draining soil and can adapt to most soil types, provided they are not poorly drained.

When properly cared for, it forms a dense, evergreen hedge that delivers year-round privacy and visual appeal. Introduced to the United Kingdom in the mid-19th century, Griselinia littoralis has earned its place in many gardens and landscapes, recognized for its robustness and decorative foliage.

In 1984, it received the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit, reflecting its enduring popularity and effectiveness as a hedging plant. The Griselinia littoralis trough hedging is ideal for those looking to create an instant, uniform hedge that brings a touch of greenery to both traditional and modern garden designs.
