Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Variegatum'
Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Variegatum' is an elegant evergreen shrub with a naturally upright, bushy habit and beautifully variegated foliage. Its attractive grey-green and mid-green leaves are edged with creamy white, creating a soft, luminous effect that provides colour and structure throughout the year.
In late spring, small dark purple flowers are produced amongst the foliage, releasing a delicate honey-like fragrance that adds subtle seasonal interest. The refined foliage and naturally oval shape make this variety a standout feature in both contemporary and traditional garden designs.
An excellent alternative to traditional Buxus, 'Variegatum' is ideal for hedging, screening and architectural planting. Thriving in full sun or partial shade with well-drained soil, it is easy to grow and low maintenance, although it benefits from a sheltered position in colder areas to protect it from harsh winds and severe frosts.
