Pittosporum tenuifolium ‘Golden Ball’ – Compact Evergreen with Golden Foliage

Pittosporum tenuifolium ‘Golden Ball’ is a compact, dome-shaped evergreen shrub with luminous golden-green foliage that brings brightness and structure to the garden all year round. Naturally rounded and easy to maintain, it’s ideal for borders, containers, or low hedging, offering a cheerful contrast to darker evergreens. As the name suggests, its tidy, ball-like form requires little pruning, making it a perfect choice for low-maintenance gardens.


Seasonal Highlights

  • Spring: Fresh, golden foliage emerges, adding instant brightness.

  • Summer: Leaves mature to a softer lime-green, retaining their glow in full sun.

  • Autumn: Evergreen canopy stays neat and vibrant.

  • Winter: Compact, golden-green mound adds light and structure to bare borders.


Key Features

  • Golden foliage – Bright yellow-green tones illuminate garden spaces.

  • Compact, rounded habit – Naturally forms a neat ball shape without heavy pruning.

  • Evergreen – Provides colour and structure all year round.

  • Low maintenance – Easy to grow and keeps its shape naturally.

  • Hardy and versatile – Thrives in a range of soils and conditions.


Perfect For

  • Borders and mixed planting – Adds colour contrast and evergreen form.

  • Containers – Perfect for patios, entrances, or terraces.

  • Low hedging or edging – Compact size makes it ideal for structure in small spaces.

  • Contemporary gardens – Works beautifully in modern, minimalist designs.


Growing Tips

  • Sun/Position: Prefers full sun or light shade; best colour in full sun.

  • Soil: Moist, well-drained soil; tolerates light, sandy, or chalky soils.

  • Hardiness: Hardy in most UK gardens; shelter from very cold winds if exposed.

  • Care: Trim lightly in late spring or early summer to maintain its natural round shape. Water regularly until established, especially in pots.


Looks Great With

  • Dark evergreens – Contrast with Pittosporum ‘Tom Thumb’ or Hebe ‘Red Edge’.

  • Grasses – Combine with Stipa or Festuca for texture and movement.

  • Flowering shrubs – Pair with Hydrangeas, Lavatera, or Roses for colour balance.

  • Mediterranean plants – Complements Lavender, Rosemary, or Euonymus.
