Planting and Caring for Griselinia in NZ

Griselinia is happiest in well-draining soil and prefers full sun to part shade. They tolerate coastal environments and are excellent for planting along boundaries or driveways. To establish a hedge, space plants about one metre apart. Water young plants regularly during dry periods, and mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Once mature, griselinia responds well to trimming—prune once or twice annually for a tidy, dense hedge. Their tolerant nature means you can enjoy healthy foliage year-round without fuss.
