Green Pittosporum

Green Pittosporum is a classic evergreen shrub valued for its lustrous, deep green foliage and sweetly fragrant white flowers that bloom in spring. With a naturally rounded, dense habit, this versatile shrub is ideal for hedges, foundation plantings, privacy screens, and topiary.
