Product description
Griselinia littoralis Variegata is an evergreen shrub with foliage that creates a mix of both dark green and cream shaded foliage. The cream colour forms around the dark green to create a margin, which is then joined by yellow-green flowers in the Spring and Summer months. The added colour from the flowers, along with the classy look of the foliage will catch the eye of all who visit or pass by your garden. Griselinia should be planted in moist, well-drained soil and kept in partially shaded area at the best of times. Watering should be carried out two or three times a week to ensure it grows well in Summer. Pruning is also recommended, doing so once a year, preferably in late Summer.

Depending on seasonality, deciduous plants may be supplied in their dormant state and without leaves. Plants may also be pruned back, lower than stated heights, to encourage new growth.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Griselina thrives in coastal areas and is drought-tolerant once established, making it ideal for low-maintenance landscapes.
How to Water
Water Griselina regularly, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering during colder months when the plant is less active.
How to Plant
Plant Griselina in well-drained soil in a location that receives full sun to partial shade. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball, place the plant, and backfill with soil. Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil.
