Why Is Corokia Geentys Green Spacing Important?

The correct Corokia Geentys Green spacing ensures your plants thrive and form the look you want. Typically, for hedges or screens, plant Corokia 'Geenty's Green' at 60 cm to 1 metre intervals.

Its naturally upright form and small, glossy leaves respond beautifully to shaping. In mixed shrub borders, pair it with contrasting foliage and flowers such as Hydrangea 'Sweet Starlight' for year-round interest. For variation, consider other hardy natives like Pseudopanax Cyril Watson.
