Pittosporum tobira 'Nanum' is an attractive tender evergreen shrub grown for its attractive green foliage and sweetly scented, creamy white flowers. It has more of a compact growth habit than other pittosporums, making it ideal for growing in containers as an alternative to box.

For best results grow Pittosporum tobira 'Nanum' in moist but well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. In cooler regions grow near a south- or west-facing wall, or in containers which you can move indoors in autumn.
