Pittosporum tenuifolium ‘Elizabeth’ – Multi Stem
£495.00 incl. VAT
You cannot beat a Pittosporum for adding texture to any garden: and for a properly shrubby shrub you could pick any of them. However the multi-stemmed form of ‘Elizabeth’ has a subtle strength to its architecture that we feel is a glorious balance between cloudy volume and vaulted structure.

You cannot beat a Pittosporum for adding texture to any garden: and for a properly shrubby shrub you could pick any of them. However the multi-stemmed form of ‘Elizabeth’ has a subtle strength to its architecture that we feel is a glorious balance between cloudy volume and vaulted structure. There’s a billowy-dense froth of small and pretty leaves up top. These are slender and oval, slightly elongated, pale green and edged in cream and pink with a wibbly edge. The thick and rounded, mounded crown is held aloft by a cluster of characterful, shapely stems below. All the better to elevate its deep purple and fragrant flowers. An essential addition for any planting scheme, these lend themselves beautifully to formal gardens and could be housed in a whopper of a pot for courtyards and patios. This is a very ‘dimensional’ evergreen shrub, and a great focal point or specimen plant that’s perfect for year-round interest.
