Description

Variegated Pittosporum, also known as Japanese Mock Orange, is a handsome, dense and mounding evergreen shrub featuring attractive, variegated creamy white and light grayish blue-green foliage. The flowers go unnoticed against the foliage, however are pleasantly fragrant, perfuming your yard for weeks during spring with the sweet smell of orange blossoms. Trims well for hedges and can be trained to form a small or bonsai. Grows in full sun and part shade.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing in a rounded mound 4 to 8 feet tall and 6 to 8 feet wide (depending on pruning), the Variegated Pittosporum can be grown as a large shrub or small tree. As a shrub, its dense foliage makes it ideal for use as an evergreen hedge or background, or to frame corners or fill voids between widely-spaced windows in home foundation plantings. As it grows, which it does rather quickly, lower branches can be removed to desired height and you have a small focal point specimen tree for use in sunny to partially shaded landscape borders and home foundation plantings. Excellent for bonsai. A fine addition to fragrance gardens, white theme gardens, rock gardens, tropical look gardens and the Xeriscape (low water needs).

Suggested Spacing: 5 feet apart for a solid hedge; 12 feet or more apart for space between plants

Note: For our customers who live and garden North of USDA Cold Hardiness Zone 8a, where this Pittosporum variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.

Growing Preferences

Variegated Pittosporum is easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained loose soil and full sun to partial shade. It will need some water while establishing itself however is exceptionally drought tolerant when established. No pruning is necessary, however plants can be pruned to shape or control size, as a formal hedge, or lower branches can be removed to form a very attractive small tree.
