Description How to Grow More Info Delivery

Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Tom Thumb' forms a rounded branching shrub that remains naturally neat and compact. The black stems are covered in small burgundy-black leaves with rippling margins. New growth emerges light green, making an interesting contrasting with the darker, mature foliage. This compact, slow-growing evergreen enjoys a sheltered, sunny position, positively thriving in mild coastal locations. Perfect for adding colour and texture to the front of borders. Height: 1m (39"). Spread: 60cm (24").
