How to Plant and Care for Your Griselinia

Griselinia is renowned for its ease of establishment and minimal ongoing care. Once you’ve decided to buy Griselinia, prepare your planting site by removing weeds and enriching the soil with compost or well-rotted manure. Space plants 75 cm to 1 m apart for a solid hedge, or further for a more natural look. Water well after planting and mulch to retain moisture. Prune regularly for shape and density—Griselinia responds beautifully to trimming.

For best results, plant in full sun to part shade. While tolerant of poor soils and coastal winds, well-drained soil will help your Griselinia thrive. Keep an eye out for regular watering during the first season as roots establish.
