Description
Griselinia littoralis is a dense, upright evergreen shrub prized for its glossy, wavy edged emerald green leaves and its exceptional ability to form a quick, tidy and reliable hedge. Native to New Zealand, this species thrives in coastal conditions, tolerating strong winds, salt spray and variable soil types. It is widely used across Melbourne and coastal Victoria for low to tall hedging (1-4m), screening, formal gardens and general shrubbery. With moderate growth and minimal maintenance requirements, it is a resilient, attractive choice for residential and commercial landscapes seeking texture, structure and year round greenery.
