Pittosporum 'Little Gem' Details

Pittosporum ‘Little Gem’ is a dwarf variety of Pittosporum and is grown for its lovely foliage and rounded growth habit. The foliage is a fresh green colour and is held densely on short stems. This evergreen grows as a ball to about 90 cm tall and the same wide, and performs best when planted in full sun on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of short periods of dry, moderate frost, and most soil types, except extreme wet. This hardy plant is ideal for including in mixed or border plantings, maintaining in a container, trimming into a low hedge, or using to border an entrance. Pittosporum ‘Little Gem’ also looks great when planted around outdoor living areas such as pool areas, and its architectural properties make it popular choice with NZ landscape designers.
