Griselinia – New Zealand’s Favourite Hedging Solution
Griselinia littoralis is one of New Zealand’s most trusted hedging plants—and for good reason. Native to Aotearoa, Griselinia is highly adapted to local conditions and offers exceptional performance in both exposed coastal locations and inner-city courtyards.
Why Choose Griselinia?
Evergreen foliage keeps your garden vibrant all year round

Fast-growing and quick to establish a dense, effective screen

Excellent salt and wind tolerance, perfect for coastal properties

Thrives in a wide range of soil types

Low maintenance and easily shaped to suit formal or informal styles

Griselinia is equally at home along rural boundaries, city fences, or framing driveways and pathways. Its versatility, toughness, and lush appearance make it an ideal backbone for any garden project.
Explore Our Premium Griselinia Varieties: Broadway Mint & Ardmore Emerald
We proudly offer two standout cultivars of Griselinia: Broadway Mint and Ardmore Emerald. Each is selected for performance, appearance, and adaptability.
Griselinia ‘Broadway Mint’
This variety features smooth, mint-green foliage and a slightly more compact form, making it ideal for urban landscapes, formal hedges, or narrow garden beds. Broadway Mint is favoured for its neat growth habit and refined aesthetic—perfect for modern garden designs.
Griselinia ‘Ardmore Emerald’
Ardmore Emerald is prized for its deep emerald-green leaves and vigorous growth. It’s perfect for those who want fast results and a thicker, more robust hedge. It performs exceptionally well in exposed or coastal environments, offering dense coverage and strong wind protection.
Both varieties are available in various sizes and are delivered ready to plant, helping you achieve a professional finish without the wait.
Add Seasonal Elegance with Camellia Plants
While Griselinia forms the structural framework of your garden, Camellia plants provide elegance and seasonal interest. These evergreen shrubs are beloved for their glossy green foliage and striking blooms, which appear from autumn through early spring, a time when many gardens lack colour.
Why Camellia is a Must-Have
Flowering during cooler months, Camellias brighten winter gardens

Offer a range of colours—from classic white to rich reds and pinks

Ideal for hedges, feature planting, or large pots

Grow well in semi-shade and sheltered positions

Choose from traditional Camellia japonica for bold, upright forms or Camellia sasanqua for a more delicate look and faster growth. Camellias are a timeless addition to formal gardens and make beautiful companions to Griselinia hedges.
Bring Summer Brilliance with Hydrangea Blooms
To add lush colour and floral impact to your garden during the warmer months, Hydrangea is an unbeatable choice. These classic shrubs produce large, vibrant flower heads that last throughout spring and summer, creating bold statements and filling the garden with soft beauty.
Hydrangea – A Colourful Companion
Available in shades of blue, pink, purple, and white

Thrive in part-shade to full sun, depending on the variety

Require minimal maintenance once established

Ideal for cottage gardens, border plantings, or mass displays

Hydrangeas are the perfect plants for softening hedge lines, filling gaps in shrub beds, or creating dramatic focal points beneath trees or beside pathways. When paired with Griselinia and Camellia, they round out the garden palette with layers of structure and bloom.
Perfect Plants for Coastal and Urban Landscapes
New Zealand’s landscape is diverse—coastal breezes, urban heat, sandy soils, and changing weather all pose unique gardening challenges. Our plants are chosen for their ability to thrive across all NZ environments, whether you're planting by the beach or down a city street.
Griselinia withstands harsh coastal winds and salty air

Camellia handles shaded, protected city spaces with ease

Hydrangea flourishes in moisture-retentive soils, adding softness and colour

Our experienced growers ensure every plant is healthy, acclimated, and ready to grow in your space.
