Pittosporum tenuifolium ‘Variegatum’

Kahuhu is a sophisticated evergreen shrub for milder gardens, with black stems densely clothed in grey-green leaves that are delicately trimmed in white, and has discreet honey scented purple flowers in June.

While the flowers of Pittosporum tenuifolium ‘Variegataum’ are insignificant, the perfume is delightful, especially on a warm summer evening when it fills the air. These are useful as a border shrub, a potted specimen, or even as a hedging plant.
