Griselinia lucida

Griselinia lucida, commonly known as Akapuka, is a striking New Zealand native shrub or small tree characterized by its large, leathery, and glossy green leaves. It naturally grows as an epiphyte or on rocky outcrops, but also thrives in garden settings. Akapuka can reach heights of 4-8 metres and is ideal for creating a lush, tropical feel. It prefers moist, well-drained soils in partial shade to full sun and is tolerant of wind and coastal conditions once established.

Why Choose Griselinia Plants?

Griselinia has quickly become one of New Zealand’s most popular hedging and shelterbelt options, and for good reason. These native evergreens thrive in a variety of conditions, from coastal winds to urban backyards, and require minimal maintenance once established. Their rapid growth makes them a prime choice if you’re keen to achieve privacy, wind protection, or a beautiful green backdrop in record time. Griselinia’s dense foliage provides year-round colour and creates effective living screens for gardens, driveways, and pool areas.

Explore the Best Griselinia Varieties

Not all griselinia plants are created equal. Our range includes tried-and-true classics as well as exciting modern cultivars. The reliable Griselinia littoralis is the gold standard for New Zealand hedging, valued for its resilience and lush appearance. Those seeking something a little different might consider the compact and tidy Griselinia 'Gecko Green', perfect for smaller spaces. If you love a subtle splash of colour, Griselinia 'Broadway Mint' offers striking lime-green foliage, while Griselinia 'Canterbury' gives a slightly more upright form. For challenging conditions, Griselinia 'Whenuapai' excels with its excellent wind and salt tolerance.

Where to Plant Griselinia

Griselinia’s adaptability is one of its greatest strengths. You’ll find it happy on coastal sites, rural sections, and urban boundaries. Plant your griselinia in well-draining soil and choose a spot with full sun to partial shade for the best growth. Space your plants according to variety—smaller types like Griselinia 'Gecko Green' work well as low hedges or specimen shrubs, while Griselinia littoralis is ideal for tall, dense hedging. Mulching and regular watering in the first year will help them get established, but once settled, griselinia is remarkably drought tolerant and low-maintenance.
