The detail
Pittosporum varieties are versatile evergreen shrubs valued for their dense growth, attractive foliage colours and naturally tidy shape. This range includes compact, rounded forms ideal for contemporary planting as well as elegant, upright shrubs perfect for borders and informal screening. Foliage colours vary from rich glossy green and silvery-grey to variegated cream-edged leaves and deep purple-bronze tones, creating striking contrast throughout the garden. Many varieties can also be clipped into neat spheres or sculptural shapes.
Depending on the cultivar, plants typically grow 0.6–2.5 metres tall & wide, making them excellent for borders, containers, coastal planting and structural landscaping. Supplied as large, well-established 19cm (3L) pot-grown plants, these are strong, garden-ready shrubs with healthy root systems prepared for reliable establishment. Professionally grown in peat-free compost at our UK nursery in Yorkshire and delivered in plastic-free packaging, they offer a sustainable way to introduce evergreen structure, colour and low-maintenance style into gardens of all sizes.
