When it comes to premium hedging solutions for New Zealand’s coastal and urban gardens, few options rival the enduring appeal and resilience of Griselinia. At The Plant Company, we offer a superior selection of Griselinia hedging plants, including standout varieties such as Broadway Mint and Ardmore Emerald. With fast NZ-wide shipping, competitive pricing, and an expert-curated inventory, we proudly deliver a hedge solution that not only enhances privacy but also elevates landscape aesthetics.

Why Choose Griselinia for Your Garden?

Griselinia littoralis, commonly known as New Zealand broadleaf, is an evergreen species native to NZ’s coastal regions. Its popularity stems from several key attributes:

• Fast growth rate (up to 60cm per year)
  
  

• Tolerant of salt-laden winds, making it ideal for coastal gardens
  
  

• Dense, glossy foliage providing year-round privacy and structure
  
  

• Low maintenance and easy to shape through trimming
  
  

Whether you're establishing a new landscape or refreshing an existing one, Griselinia proves itself as a versatile, resilient, and aesthetically pleasing hedging option.

At The Plant Company, we specialize in supplying the finest quality Griselinia plants, particularly the Broadway Mint and Ardmore Emerald cultivars. Each offers unique benefits suited for specific environments and design preferences.

Griselinia Broadway Mint

A modern cultivar with a refreshing lime-green hue, Broadway Mint stands out for its: 

• Upright and compact form, perfect for tight borders  

• Exceptional wind resistance, ideal for exposed sites
  
  

• Refined leaf texture that adds elegance to formal and informal hedging
  
  

It’s a favorite among designers aiming for crisp, contemporary hedgelines.

Griselinia Ardmore Emerald

Renowned for its lush emerald foliage, Ardmore Emerald offers: 

• Thicker leaves for improved drought tolerance
  
  

• Broader growth habit making it suitable for wide boundaries
  
  

• Robust adaptability to varying soil conditions
  
  

This cultivar is highly prized for creating dense green walls and enhancing garden privacy year-round.

Perfect Companion Plants: Camellia and Hydrangea

While Griselinia offers structural beauty and functionality, pairing it with flowering plants like Camellia and Hydrangea can dramatically enrich your landscape's texture and seasonal appeal.

Camellia – Evergreen Elegance with Floral Brilliance

With their dark green foliage and glorious winter blooms, Camellias are ideal to plant in combination with Griselinia. Their benefits include:

• Year-round leaf coverage to maintain visual consistency with evergreen hedging
  
  

• Stunning late autumn to spring blooms in shades of red, pink, and white
  
  

• Low-maintenance growth in both sun and shade
  
  

Camellia provide vertical interest and color contrast that balances Griselinia’s vibrant green tones.

Hydrangea – Seasonal Color and Classic Charm

Hydrangeas are beloved for their large, expressive blooms and soft, romantic foliage. They complement Griselinia hedging in many garden styles:

• Deciduous nature allows winter light into the garden while Griselinia maintains the green
  
  

• Spectacular blooms from late spring to autumn in hues ranging from blue to purple to pink
  
  

• Thrive in partially shaded conditions, pairing well under taller hedging
  
  

Together, these combinations create layered gardens with visual depth, seasonal interest, and practical shelter.
