The Pittosporum tenuifolium is a fantastic choice for adding a healthy dose of colour to your garden all year round. The leaves are glossy green in colour and have wavy margins and this shrub forms a bushy and broadly columnar shape when it is mature. The shoots are deep purple in colour and they look really effective against the luscious green leaves. This is the perfect choice for planting in a bed or a border, and it looks great when planted alongside another Pittosporum like the ‘Tom Thumb’.
