Pittosporum tobira 'Miss Muffet'
APPEARANCE : Dwarf evergreen shrub, twice as wide as it is high, and naturally rounded. Bright glossy long leaves all year; dense growth habit; fragrant cream flowers in Spring. For a more upright form with similar looks, choose Pittosporum tobira dwarf.
USE IN: Borders, pots, hedging, mass groundcover.
LOCATION: Plant in well drained soil, in dappled shade or out of hot midday sun. Will grow better in a sheltered location but can stand some coastal breezes and light overnight frosts once established.
CARE: Fertilise with a slow release fertiliser in spring and again in autumn. Prune only to maintain shape and compact growth - the branches are said to smell unpleasant when cut. Will regrow after a hard prune if necessary. Water frequently until plant is established, check for moisture during dry spells.
HEIGHT & WIDTH:  1m H x 1.5 m W.
PLEASE NOTE: These are tubestock plants with young healthy roots that will establish quickly in your garden. The pot size is 42 mm wide and 80 mm high.
