Tasman Ruffles Pittosporum

Description:
Pittosporum tenuifolium ‘Tasman Ruffles’ is a dense, evergreen shrub featuring finely ruffled, soft green foliage with a compact, upright growth habit. This hardy and elegant variety is ideal for hedging, screening, or as a feature plant in contemporary and formal gardens. Its naturally bushy form provides excellent privacy while requiring minimal pruning to maintain shape. In spring, small dark purple, honey-scented flowers appear, adding seasonal interest and attracting pollinators.
