Griselinia ‘Broadway Mint’ Hedge
Botanical Name: Griselinia littoralis ‘Broadway Mint’
Common Names: Broadway Mint, New Zealand Broadleaf
Family: Griseliniaceae
Origin: New Zealand
Plant Type: Evergreen native shrub / hedging plant
Overview
Griselinia littoralis ‘Broadway Mint’ is a fresh, bright-leaved selection of New Zealand broadleaf, well suited to creating attractive evergreen hedges and screens. Its glossy mint-green foliage gives it a lighter, more vibrant appearance than traditional darker Griselinia while retaining the dense growth and toughness that make broadleaf such a popular hedging plant.
It responds very well to trimming and can be maintained as a neat hedge around 1–2 m high, or allowed to grow more naturally for a softer screen. It is ideal for longer boundaries, driveways, privacy screening and larger landscaping projects where a substantial length of evergreen hedge is required.
Key Features
Foliage: Glossy, fresh mint-green evergreen leaves providing year-round colour.
Hedging Habit: Dense and leafy, responding well to regular clipping and shaping.
Form & Habit: Naturally upright and bushy, developing into a substantial screen if left less frequently trimmed.
Growth Rate: Moderate to fast once established under good growing conditions.
Hardiness: A tough New Zealand native suitable for a wide range of garden conditions. Good coastal tolerance and able to cope with wind once established.
Recommended Hedge Spacing
Plant spacing can be adjusted depending on how quickly you want the hedge to fill and the eventual style and height required.
Closer spacing is generally best for a lower, tightly clipped hedge where quick coverage is important. Wider spacing is suitable for taller hedges or where plants can be given more time to develop and spread.
| Desired Hedge Height | Example Plant Spacing | Approx. Finished Length – 50 Plants |
|---|---|---|
| 1–1.2 m | 50 cm | 25 m |
| 1.2–1.5 m | 60 cm | 30 m |
| 1.5–2 m | 75 cm | 37.5 m |
| Taller / informal screen | 1 m | 50 m |
Spacing is a general guide only. Final spacing will depend on the desired hedge density, site conditions and how quickly you want the plants to knit together.
Mature Size
| Feature | Approximate Size |
|---|---|
| Hedge Height | 1–2 m |
| Hedge Width | 1–1.5 m |
| Unclipped Height | Approximately 3–5 m |
| Form | Upright, dense and bushy |
Regular trimming allows both height and width to be maintained considerably below the plant’s natural dimensions.
Ideal Growing Conditions
| Requirement | Conditions |
|---|---|
| Light | Full sun to partial shade |
| Water | Regular watering while establishing; reasonably drought tolerant once established |
| Soil | Adaptable, but performs best in fertile, free-draining soil |
| pH Range | Tolerant of a reasonably broad soil pH range |
| Frost Tolerance | Good once established; young plants benefit from protection from severe frost |
Landscaping & Garden Uses
- Evergreen boundary hedges
- Privacy screening
- Driveway and entrance planting
- Coastal gardens
- Urban and suburban properties
- Wind-tolerant planting
- Garden-room dividers
- Screening fences, sheds and utility areas
- Formal or more natural-looking hedges
- Larger-scale landscaping projects
Care & Maintenance
Pruning: Trim regularly during the growing season for a dense, tidy hedge. Light, frequent trimming generally produces better foliage density than allowing the hedge to become oversized before cutting it back heavily.
Watering: Water regularly during establishment, particularly through the first summer. Once established, plants are considerably more tolerant of short dry periods.
Feeding: An application of general-purpose or slow-release fertiliser during spring can encourage healthy foliage and strong new growth.
Pests & Diseases: Generally robust and relatively trouble-free when grown in suitable conditions. Good drainage and airflow help maintain healthy plants.
Additional Tips
For the best hedge, prepare the entire planting line rather than improving only individual planting holes. Adding organic matter to poor soil and maintaining a mulch layer can help conserve moisture and encourage strong establishment.
Begin light formative trimming while the plants are still young rather than waiting for them to reach their final height. This encourages branching lower down and helps produce a fuller hedge from the base upwards.
Fun Fact / Botanical Insight
Griselinia littoralis is naturally found in New Zealand forests and coastal environments. Its ability to tolerate exposure, wind and salt-laden air is one reason Griselinia has become such a widely used hedge throughout New Zealand.
