PITTOSPORUM tenu. Irene Patterson

A compact, evergreen Pittosporum valued for its small, variegated leaves that emerge pale and mature to green mottled with creamy-white, creating year-round brightness and fine texture.

Reliable as a structural shrub for borders, low hedging or containers, it performs best in full sun or light shade and fertile, moist but welldrained soil; provide shelter from cold, drying winds. Light formative trims after risk of frost help maintain a neat dome.
