Pittosporum ‘Garnettii’
 |
Pittosporum ‘Garnettii’ is an attractive, evergreen, bushy shrub, growing to 10 ft (3 m). The grey-green, variegated, oval leaves are 1.6–2 in (4–5 cm) long, and have a cream edge, which takes on a pink flush in winter. The flowers are very darkest purple; spring. Its parents are probably Pittosporum ralphii and Pittosporum tenuifolium, and may have originated before 1957 at Buxton’s Nursery, Christchurch, South Island, New Zealand. It was named after Arthur Garnett who discovered it. Pittosporum ‘Garnettii’ is hardy in New Zealand and the United Kingdom. |
