Description
The ‘Beach Ball’ is a neat, rounded evergreen shrub that is the perfect choice for adding colour and structure to your garden all year round. The glossy, mid-green leaves are uniformly elliptic in shape and are held on dark purple stems. The spherical shape makes this a wonderful structural feature and, unlike Buxus, it requires very little pruning to maintain its shape. This pittosporum works well as a hedging plant or you can plant it in a large pot.
This evergreen is low-maintenance, not only because of its minimal pruning, but also because it does not require much water once it is established. Make sure you give it some shelter in colder areas.
Common Name: Beach Ball Pittosporum
