Pittosporum Tenuifolium Bannow Bay 5 Litre Pot

Pittosporum tenuifolium ‘Bannow Bay’

Common name: Pittosporum

Pittosporum ‘Bannow Bay’ is a handsome, evergreen shrub with wavy, soft green leaves edged in silvery-white. This upright, bushy variety adds year-round interest and is perfect for mixed borders, hedging, or coastal planting schemes. In late spring to early summer, it may produce small, honey-scented dark purple flowers.

Its compact form makes it suitable for formal or informal use, and the light leaf colour offers a striking contrast to darker evergreens. It clips well and can be shaped or grown naturally. Hardy in mild areas, it benefits from shelter in colder or exposed spots.

Ultimate height and spread:
2.5–3m × 1.5–2m
Position: Full sun or partial shade
Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil
Features: Evergreen, scented flowers, clips well, suitable for coastal or sheltered gardens
