In late spring, it produces small, dark purple flowers that are lightly fragrant.

It is particularly appreciated by landscape professionals for its fast establishment and structural qualities.

How to use Pittosporum tenuifolium Penmarch ?

Thanks to its size and density, Pittosporum tenuifolium Penmarch is ideal for informal or clipped hedges, living screens, and windbreaks.

Its consistent evergreen foliage suits urban, residential, and commercial landscape schemes requiring durable and low-maintenance planting solutions.

Growing tips for Pittosporum tenuifolium Penmarch

Plant Penmarch in light to medium, well-drained soils with a neutral to slightly acidic pH. Best planted in spring or autumn, with spacing of 80 cm to 1 m for hedges. A position in full sun or partial shade ensures steady growth and dense foliage. Water regularly during the establishment phase, then reduce as the plant matures. Prune once or twice a year to maintain shape and structure. Apply mulch and organic fertiliser in spring to support growth and improve soil quality.
