Griselinia 'Gecko Green'

Griselinia Gecko Green hedge

Growing an excellent Griselinia hedge starts with determining the plant spacing. As a general guide, 50 cm is the ideal spacing between plants for a Griselinia hedge. If you want the hedge to fill in more quickly, you can reduce the spacing to 40 cm. However, going wider than 50 cm will have two effects. The first is that the gap between the plants at the base will be harder to fill in, and this can cause frustration. The second is that the plants will tend to grow wider rather than upward. At a closer spacing, the plants compete for light, and in doing so, they push each other upwards. Therefore, The Plant Company recommends a spacing of 40-50 cm to achieve a fantastic Griselinia 'Gecko Green' hedge.
