:: Pittosporaceae :: PITTOSPORUM :: tenuifolium :: 'Irene Paterson'
  • Type of products available: 0/1/1P9

Main asset

Variety of medium vigor, with a rounded natural habit, forming a dense hiding foliage, excellent in medium hedge or as isolated plant or group of 3-5 plants. Good resistance to coastal conditions (salt).

Remarks

Good plant for Atlantic coastal places, supports less arid conditions than Pittosporum tobira. Can form a small tree, and sow itself (without being invasive).

Evergreen shrub native to New Zealand, with young shoots splashed with creamy white becoming a little more green when older, contrasting with black stems. The foliage is rosy with cool nights. Spring bloom in small black purple bells, discreet but very fragrant.
