Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Elizabeth' is justifiably one of the most popular of pittosporum cultivars, boasting subtly coloured foliage that doesn’t jar with over bright contrasts like many other variegated shrubs.
The slender, shiny foliage comes in a cool grey-green and cream with a delicate flush of pink emphasising the rippled margins of the leaves. This superb shrub is easy to blend into the garden landscape, working beautifully with whatever colour palette you choose for your main flowering displays. Unsurprisingly, it is a go-to foliage choice with professional florists. Overall, it is light in tone, lifting the heavy dullness you can get from massing too many dark evergreens.
Although it is mainly valued for its handsome foliage, early summer also sees tiny purple flowers with a honey scent that are attractive to pollinators. Drought tolerant once established, Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Elizabeth' is an adaptable plant that thrives in most soil types. It tolerates routine clipping and makes a great hedging choice. It can also be clipped into domes and other shapes, providing an excellent, disease-free alternative to box. A perfect variegated evergreen shrub that will even appeal to those who don’t normally like variegated foliage! Ultimate height and spread: 2.5m (8.2ft) to 4m (8.2 - 13ft).
Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
