Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Tom Thumb'
Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Tom Thumb' is a compact evergreen shrub valued for its rich purple-bronze foliage and naturally rounded, dome-shaped habit. New growth emerges green before quickly deepening to glossy burgundy, creating bold contrast in borders and containers throughout the year.
In late spring, small dark purple flowers may appear, carrying a subtle honey-like fragrance. Perfect for low hedging, edging paths or adding structure to mixed planting schemes, this reliable variety provides strong architectural form and year-round colour.
