Pittosporum ‘beech ball’

Description

Pittosporum tenuifolium ‘Beach Ball’ is a compact, evergreen shrub with a naturally dense, rounded habit, making it an excellent choice for low hedging, borders, or container planting. It features small, glossy, grey-green leaves that emerge light green when young, creating a subtle contrast. In late spring and early summer, it produces small, fragrant, purple-brown flowers, followed by dark grey seed capsules. This shrub thrives in moist but well-drained soil, preferring full sun to partial shade, and is borderline hardy, requiring protection in colder climates. With its neat, sculptural form, ‘Beach Ball’ is ideal for structured garden designs, offering year-round interest and low-maintenance appeal
