Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Tom Thumb'

Although grown primarily for the ornamental foliage, occasional purplish flowers can appear in early summer.
With the colourful leaves providing year round interest, Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Tom Thumb' is a great low shrub for warm gardens, looking lovely in a sunny border or a large container.
