Couldn't load pickup availability
With its naturally rounded form and striking golden yellow foliage, this evergreen shrub adds a vibrant splash of colour to gardens throughout the year. The small, glossy leaves create a dense canopy that maintains its bright hue without fading, offering a cheerful contrast against darker greenery in borders or as an accent plant. Unlike other pittosporums, its compact, ball shaped growth requires minimal pruning to retain its neat appearance, making it perfect for low maintenance landscapes. Delicate honey scented flowers appear in spring, attracting pollinators while adding subtle fragrance. Well suited to sheltered spots with well drained soil, this sun loving shrub brings both structure and year round visual appeal to any outdoor space.
