Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Elizabeth' 2L (70-80cm)
Pittosporum ‘Elizabeth’ is a beautiful evergreen shrub grown for its colourful foliage and neat, upright shape. The small, wavy leaves are variegated with soft green centres edged in creamy white, and new growth emerges with a pretty pink flush, giving the plant year-round interest.
