Variant CT Gold Star 3L

A radiant presence in the garden with small, glossy leaves splashed with vibrant golden yellow variegation, creating a starry effect across the foliage. The evergreen shrub maintains its bright colour throughout the year, the golden markings appearing more intense in sunlit positions while still shining in partial shade. Tiny purple black flowers release a sweet fragrance in late spring, adding another layer of interest to this versatile performer. More striking in its variegation than many green leaved pittosporums, it brings constant luminosity without overwhelming nearby plants. Resilient to coastal winds and urban pollution, it thrives in well drained soils while requiring minimal maintenance. Perfect for adding year round sparkle to mixed borders or containers, the cheerful foliage combines beautifully with dark leaved plants or blue flowering companions. A superb choice for illuminating shady corners or creating focal points in contemporary planting schemes.
