Description: |
An existing new generation of Pittosporum. Golf Ball is a vigorous grower, yet stays very compact and round with little pruning. Branching freely from its base, it develops a very dense, multi-stemmed shape. It has bright mint-green glossy leaves with small, inconspicuous chocolate-purple flowers in late spring/early summer. This evergreen specimen is low maintenance, staying around 50cm tall x 50cm wide. |
Cultural Notes: |
Golf Ball can withstand periodic drought once established, it has excellent tolerance to wind and heavy rains. Plant it out in the full sun or part shade. Part shade is best in hot, dry climates. This plant is seriously low maintenance, it naturally forms a low dense hedge without trimming, or you can trim it to shape also. |
Landscape Ideas: |
Ideal for foundation plantings, as a specimen plant or to replace boxwoods as a hedge in small formal borders. Works well as a container or patio planting. |
