Pittosporum is one of those tough and reliable shrubs I come back to time and again. These evergreen shrubs can be shaped into topiary, clipped into formal hedging, or left to do their own thing in a pot on a shady patio. They really are that versatile.
And, the best part? They can be grown alongside a whole range of suitable pittosporum companion plants, filling borders and pots with brilliant foliage and flowers. So, whether you’re working with the succulent-like Pittosporum tobira, the silver-tinged ‘Tom Thumb’, or any other variety for that matter, they all pair well with a good selection of shrubs and perennials.
