Pittosporum 'Garnettii' is a hybrid between P. tenuifolium and P. ralphii. We worried about the hardiness of this attractive, evergreen shrub, but it stood the test of time until the fierce winder of 2008-09. We have replanted it because we missed the beauty of its perfect shape. Oval leaves on dark stems have a creamy white variegation often with a blush of pink. The flowers are solitary, blooming in the leaf-axils. Grow this in a sunny, sheltered border.
