Description:
Pittosporum Golf Ball is a vigorous grower, yet stays very compact and round with little pruning. Named for its dense, spherical growth habit, resembling a perfectly shaped golf ball. Branching freely from its base, Golf Ball develops a very dense, multi-stemmed shape. Pittosporum Golf Ball has bright green glossy leaves with small, inconspicuous chocolate-purple flowers in late spring/early summer. This evergreen plant is low maintenance and tolerant of a wide range of soil types and conditions. Pittosporum Golf Ball is ideal for foundation plantings, as a specimen plant, or to replace boxwoods as a hedge in small formal borders. Golf Ball works well as a container or patio planting. Grows to approx 60cm H x W.
