Add a touch of architectural elegance to your garden with Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Pom Pom'. This sophisticated evergreen shrub is highly prized for its naturally dense, mounded growth habit, which creates a beautiful "pom-pom" shape without the need for constant pruning.
The plant features small, wavy-edged leaves in a shimmering silvery-green hue, beautifully set against contrasting thin, black stems. In late spring, it produces tiny, honey-scented dark purple flowers that add a subtle fragrance to the garden air. Supplied established in a 3L nursery pot, it is perfect for low hedging, topiary-style planting, or as a structural focal point in large patio containers.
Key Features:
-
Naturally Rounded Habit: Grows into a neat, spherical shape, making it an excellent low-maintenance alternative to Box (Buxus) topiary.
-
Year-Round Interest: Dense evergreen foliage ensures your garden looks vibrant and structured through all four seasons.
-
Striking Colour Contrast: Silvery-grey foliage paired with dark black stems offers a contemporary look.

Fragrant Blooms: Delicate spring flowers release a sweet, honey-like scent during the evening.

Planting & Care Instructions:
-
Position: Thrives in full sun or partial shade. For best foliage colour, plant in a sunny, sheltered spot.
