Pittosporum tobira is a dense, slow-growing, mound-forming, rounded, evergreen shrub with leathery, obovate, glossy, dark green leaves arranged in a whorl around the stem. Clusters of small, yellow flowers, white when they emerge, bloom in late spring and summer. Flowers are long-lasting and heavily scented. Pittosporum tobira grows best in average, moderately fertile, medium moisture, slightly acidic, well-drained soils, but can adapt to almost any soil type, except waterlogged. It thrives in full sun with some afternoon shade. Once established, tolerant of drought. It can withstand sea salt and is ideal for coastal areas. Resistant to frost, but needs to be sheltered from harsh, drying winds. Generally, pest-free and disease-free. Low maintenance, but needs some trimming to maintain its shape. Japanese pittosporum is a great-looking and resilient plant providing interest all year round. It is excellent for beds and borders, foundation plantings, or informal hedges and screens. Suitable for growing in containers and as a houseplant.
