Pittosporum eugenoides Variegatum

Common Name: Variegated Lemonwood

Description:
Pittosporum eugenioides ‘Variegatum’ is an elegant, evergreen shrub or small tree prized for its striking variegated foliage. Its glossy, green leaves are edged with creamy-white margins, creating a soft, luminous effect in the garden. In spring, it produces clusters of small, fragrant, pale yellow flowers that attract bees and beneficial pollinators. This fast-growing variety is perfect for hedging, screening, or as a feature plant, providing year-round interest. Thriving in Melbourne’s climate, it prefers full sun to part shade and well-drained soil. It is drought and frost tolerant once established and benefits from regular pruning to maintain a dense, compact shape.
