Pittosporum Tenuifolium Golf Ball (PBR) | 3L Pot

A good alternative to box balls. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: fertile, moist, well-drained soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: May to June Hardiness: frost hardy (needs winter protection in cold areas) Forming a neat, rounded mound, this evergreen shrub is ideal for adding structure and architectural interest to the planting scheme. The foliage is a fresh mint green and this is complemented by small brownish-purple flowers, which appear in late spring and early summer, filling the air with their sweet, honey-like scent. Garden care: Requires minimal pruning. To thin or reduce growth prune mid-spring and apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plant.
