Pittosporum tenuifolium Perfect Pillar

Common Name:
Perfect Pillar Pittosporum

Description:
Pittosporum tenuifolium ‘Perfect Pillar’ is a refined cultivar celebrated for its striking, columnar growth habit and dense, glossy foliage. Bred for its narrow, upright form, this selection is ideal for tight spaces, formal hedging, or as a vertical accent in contemporary Melbourne gardens. Its compact structure provides a neat screen or architectural focal point, while subtle cream or white flowers in spring add a gentle, seasonal interest without overwhelming the overall design. Preferring full sun to part shade and well-drained soil, ‘Perfect Pillar’ is drought tolerant once established and requires only minimal maintenance. Its year-round evergreen nature and low maintenance make it a popular choice for urban landscapes and small garden designs.
