Product information

Pittosporum tenuifolium ‘Variegatum’ catches the eye with its glossy green leaves broadly margined in cream. The variegation brightens dull spots year round. From our Thurning grounds, it brings structure through all seasons.

This shrub grows to 3-4m tall and wide with a dense, rounded habit. It suits fertile, well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. Shelter from cold winds helps in cooler areas.

Prune lightly after flowering to shape. It thrives in mild UK climates, ideal for coastal gardens or sheltered borders. Grow in pots for patios too.
