Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Elizabeth'

Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Elizabeth' stands out as a favourite among pittosporum varieties, thanks to its elegantly coloured leaves that harmonize beautifully without the harsh contrasts often seen in other variegated plants. The slender, glossy leaves showcase a soothing blend of grey-green and cream, accented by a gentle pink hue along the rippled edges. This versatile shrub integrates seamlessly into any garden design, complementing a wide range of flowering plants. It's no wonder that professional florists frequently choose it for arrangements, as its light tones help brighten spaces that might otherwise feel weighed down by darker evergreens.While its striking foliage is the main attraction, 'Elizabeth' also surprises with small, fragrant purple flowers that bloom in early summer, drawing in pollinators. Once established, this drought-tolerant plant adapts well to various soil types and can withstand regular pruning, making it an excellent choice for hedges. Its ability to be shaped into domes and other forms offers a stylish, disease-resistant alternative to traditional boxwood. This charming evergreen shrub is sure to win over even those who typically shy away from variegated plants.Height and spread: 4m (13ft).
