Description

This variety of Pittosporum tenuifolium grows to become a broad upright evergreen shrub. It produces new white leaves which turn to a grey-green leaf speckled with white as the leaf ages. In the winter the leaves can develop a tinge of pink on there margin at which point they appear not dissimilar to the variety Elizabeth.

Growing to 2m high x 1.25m wide after 10 years this plant prefers a sunny position but will tolerate semi-shade. 

Lightly trim to shape in May to June to keep them in good shape.
