Pittosporum heterophyllum Variegatum - Shrub - Height 70-80cm - 12lt

Pittosporum heterophyllum ‘Variegatum’ is an attractive evergreen shrub valued for its elegant foliage, compact growth habit and year-round interest. The narrow, pointed leaves display a beautiful variegated pattern, with fresh green centres surrounded by creamy-white margins, creating a bright and refined appearance in the garden. Its dense, bushy form makes it an excellent choice for mixed borders, low hedging, screening, coastal gardens and container planting.

This versatile Pittosporum is relatively low maintenance and naturally forms a neat, rounded shape, although it can be lightly pruned to maintain size and encourage bushier growth. During late spring, it may produce small, subtle flowers that add further seasonal interest and attract pollinating insects.

Pittosporum heterophyllum ‘Variegatum’ is well suited to UK gardens, tolerating a range of soil types provided they are free draining. It performs best in a sunny or partially shaded position and is particularly useful in exposed locations due to its tolerance of wind and coastal conditions. Its evergreen foliage provides structure and colour throughout the year, making it an excellent choice for adding texture and contrast to modern and traditional planting schemes.
