PERSONAL THOUGHTS ON THIS PLANT:
There are several varieties of Pittosporum, variegated and completely green, tall and dwarf. I find the dwarf varieties most versatile in planting beds. They make a great border plants because of their dense leaves and interesting texture. I prefer Variegated Pittosporum because it has an unusual color combination that can add interest.
The variegated varieties of Pittosporum do not seem to be as frost tolerant as the completely green ones and can become leggy over time.
