Nursery contributed plant descriptions

New and exciting pittosporum, shared with us by Ted Stephens at Nurseries Caroliniana, with spring growth emerging nearly white and, over the season, gradually fading to pale green. A low-growing form of this evergreen mock orange, to 3-5 ft tall and wide, with the same sweet, white flower in spring - hints of orange blossoms. Dappled to light shade is best in a warm, sheltered spot. Regular summer water for best appearance. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8.
