Pittosporum - A taste of Honey

[charlie]

All the Pittos are in full flower at present and the scent pervades the whole garden, shame the flowers are not more eye catching. Below is the cultivar 'Elizabeth'

Whenever I go to somewhere like Burncoose nursery I am tempted by the larger leaved species of these evergreen shrubs but they all seem to succumb in winter, they obviously need more overhead frost protection than I can give them.

The cultivar Irene Pattison has a lovely pattern on the leaves and doesn't get as large as some of the others

Picked this one up at the Duchey Nursery many years ago in their sick Bay for 50p
