Griselinia hedging plants approximately 6ft tall in 15 or 20 litre pots.
They are supplied in a 15 litre pot which measures approximately 30 x 25cm.
To plant, you will need to dig a hole at least 45 x 45cm (2ft) square by 27cm (1ft) deep, break up the ground well and we recommend adding Greenshutters 12 month-controlled release feed. For more detailed information please see our How to Plant guide or give us a call to discuss, we are here to help you.
Plant height is measured from the top of the pot.
Planting distance is 60-100cm apart (2-3ft), use our Hedge Spacing Calculator to work out how many you need. Plant closer if you want to the hedge to form more quickly.
The planting hole should be 1.5-2 times the size of the pot, so for a 15 or 20 litre pot, the hole should be approximately 50cm diameter (square) x 27cm deep. Loosen the base of the hole for about another 30cm/12” to improve drainage. Mix our professional 12-14 month feed with the soil and backfill with soil or a compost and soil mix. Firm well. Keep well watered for the first growing season. For more information on planting, please click here.
