Top Tips for Growing Griselinia! 🌱✨

🌞 Sun & Soil: Loves full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil. Avoid waterlogged areas! ☀️🌿

💦 Water Wisely: Keep it well-watered in its first year, then it’s happy with occasional drinks. 🚿🌧️

✂️ Trimming & Shaping: Prune in late summer or early autumn to keep it looking neat. If you want a denser hedge, trim lightly but often! ✂️💚

🛡️ Frost Protection: In really cold areas, young plants may need some winter protection. A little mulch goes a long way! 🥶🛏️
