Pittosporum tobira 'Variegatum'
The variegated form of Pittosporum tobira is slightly less hardy and considerably less vigorous (as with all variegated plants) than the type (Horti-speak for the non-variegated form) but also tends to be both earlier to flower and more prolific in flower which is no bad thing.
Pittosporum tobira's tough leathery leaves and remarkable drought resistance makes it particularly well suited to coastal regions. Suitable for sun or light shade. As with most drought resistant plants, its drought resistance is due to its ability to find water rather than to exist without it, therefore, if grown in a pot keep it well watered since its completely dependent on you. The beautifully scented flowers last from around mid May to mid June and the hotter and sunnier the position, the more it will flower. Not bad as a pot plant as long as it's kept the same size by clipping. This is best done after flowering in late June. In mild London or coastal gardens it can be clipped into an excellent hedge.
As with all woody plants, plant high, exposing as much of the taper at the base of the trunk as possible. Allowing soil to accumulate around the base of a tree can be fatal.
