Family Pittosporaceae
Originating from Australia

• An evergreen exotic looking, glossy-leaved fast growing shrub.
• Heavily scented tubular flowers white and yellow are produced in summer.
• Easy to grow in pots if overwintered in frost-free conservatory

Lush and glossy, this exotic-looking large shrub or small tree quickly forms a well-branched specimen with handsome elongated oval evergreen leaves.

Its abundant, large bunches of tubular blooms appear at the tips of the branches, starting as pure white and maturing to a rich golden yellow. They are trumpet-shaped and strongly flared at their tips, creating a recurved five-petal star shape. Intensely fragrant, few patio plants can match the heady, exotic perfume they emit on a warm summer evening.

Great planted in a large pot and placed on a patio for the summer, then returned to a frost-free conservatory for winter. In the mildest of city or coastal gardens, it may be worth planting out in a very sheltered courtyard. This plant is easy to grow and can be pruned to a manageable size.

Height and spread after 3 – 4 years 1.8m x 1.5m
Semi-mature height and spread after 7 – 8 years if not clipped or pruned 5m x 5m
