Lustrous evergreen leaves and scented flowers make Pittosporum tobira a stand-out variety.
Slowly growing into a rounded, medium shrub, Pittosporum tobira is clothed in glossy, leathery leaves, 3-10cm long, that are held in characteristic whorls. In late spring and early summer, it bears large umbels of small, honey-scented flowers that emerge white and mature to yellow. In mild parts of the UK, Pittosporum tobira can be grown outside in a sheltered spot, thriving in sun or shade, although sunny positions will encourage the most flowers. It makes an excellent foundation shrub for a sheltered courtyard or coastal garden where it can be kept clipped into shape and even used as hedging. Alternatively, plant it into a large patio container and move it to a frost-free position to overwinter. RHS Award of Garden Merit. Maximum height: 4m (13ft). Spread: 2.5m (8ft).
Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
