Griselinia Whenuapai - Pb5

This is the small leaved variety with oval shaped foliage. This is a more upright growing plant than Broadway Mint, the leaves are narrower and a deeper green so it looks slightly fresher and tidier. It is a tough native that tolerates any amount of pruning. Will cope with almost any soil type or situation and is particularly tolerant of persistent or salt laden winds. Copes with moderate frosts, clay and coastal conditions so it is quite a versatile plant. Prefers good drainage and does not like waterlogged soils.

Grows to about 5m x 3m in 10 years.
