Pittosporum Pom Pom 5 Litre Pot

Pittosporum ‘Pom Pom’ – Sculptural Evergreen Topiary for Contemporary Gardens

Pittosporum ‘Pom Pom’ is a distinctive evergreen topiary, trained into a series of rounded pom pom shapes along a clear stem. This sculptural form creates strong vertical interest and a modern, architectural look, making it a standout feature in both contemporary and formal garden settings.

The small, glossy green leaves form a dense, tidy surface that responds well to clipping, allowing the defined shapes to be maintained with minimal effort. Its naturally compact growth habit makes it particularly suitable for structured planting where clean lines and repetition are key.

Perfect for containers, patios, and entranceways, it works beautifully as a focal point or used in pairs to create symmetry. It can also be incorporated into borders to add height and form without taking up significant ground space.

Best grown in a sunny, sheltered position, Pittosporum thrives in free-draining soil and benefits from protection against cold winds and severe frost. In milder UK areas, it performs reliably as an evergreen, while in colder locations it may require some winter protection.

Low maintenance and easy to manage, it requires only occasional trimming to maintain its distinctive pom pom shape.

Stylish, structured, and eye-catching, Pittosporum ‘Pom Pom’ is an excellent choice for adding architectural form and year-round interest to the garden.
