Common Name: Dwarf Japanese Mock Orange 'Miss Muffett'
Description: Pittosporum tobira 'Miss Muffett' is a compact, evergreen shrub prized for its dense, rounded growth habit and glossy, dark green foliage. In spring, it produces clusters of small, creamy-white, highly fragrant flowers with a citrus-like scent, attracting bees and pollinators. This dwarf variety is ideal for low hedging, borders, and container planting, providing year-round structure with minimal maintenance. It thrives in full sun to part shade and is highly drought and frost tolerant once established, making it a perfect choice for Melbourne gardens. Its naturally tidy growth means little pruning is required to maintain its shape.
