Pittosporum Malahide

A Luminous Evergreen Professional for a Fresh and Polished Garden Backdrop

The Pittosporum ‘Malahide’ is a “bright-green professional” that brings a refreshing, apple-green glow to your garden all year round. This variety is highly prized for its vibrant, glossy foliage that appears almost golden when caught in the sunlight. Like other premium Kohuhu varieties, it features striking, slender black stems that provide a sharp and sophisticated contrast against the luminous leaves. As an evergreen shrub, it offers a dense and naturally tidy structure, making it one of the absolute best choices for creating a fresh-looking privacy screen or a polished backdrop for your flowering perennials.

This hardworking shrub is exceptionally resilient and versatile, adapting beautifully to both modern urban courtyards and traditional coastal gardens. Because of its fast-growing and bushy nature, it establishes itself quickly to provide immediate architectural impact. These 3L garden-ready plants arrive fully rooted and ready to go, performing reliably in full sun or partial shade. Whether you are looking to clip it into a formal hedge or let it grow into a soft, shimmering focal point in a large patio container, ‘Malahide’ delivers a high-end, professionally landscaped look with very little maintenance.
