Griselinia littoralis

Griselinia littoralis is a fast-growing, large, evergreen shrub valued for its glossy, bright green foliage and naturally dense habit, making superb, year-round screening and a smart, easily maintained hedge. It establishes quickly, clips cleanly and is well suited to coastal locations. Grow in full sun to light shade on moist but well-drained soil. This RHS Award of Garden Merit plant can reach around 8m tall and 4m wide at maturity if left untrimmed.

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.
