Sweetly scented flowers drift across the deep evergreen foliage of this exceptional shrub. This compact and rounded variety, also known as Pittosporum tobira, remains coated in leather-feel, glossy green leaves regardless of the season, stretching to a good size with dense coverage.
Just wait until that sweet spot around the tail end of spring and early summer, when days are notably lengthening and warming up – this shrub erupts with beauty, as dainty cream flowers gather in clusters, releasing a honey-like aroma that sits on the breeze. The flowers even evolve in colour across the weeks, taking on a yellow tinge.
This Asian native is best grown in a greenhouse border or container, so it can be given protection from autumn onwards. The thick foliage even makes it perfect for topiary clipping.
Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure this is a proven garden performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. You can therefore plant this in the garden with confidence, for stunning displays for many years to come.

Please allow us 7-10 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.
Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.
We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.
Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.
Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.
Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
