Pittosporum tenuifolium On Par

Minimum order quantity for this plant is 3 units 

Pittosporum tenuifolium 'On Par' is a compact, evergreen shrub with dense, bright green foliage and a naturally rounded form. It grows to around 1.2 metres high and wide, making it ideal for low hedges, borders, and formal gardens. The vibrant leaves contrast beautifully with dark stems, providing year-round interest and a fresh, structured look.

In Melbourne and Adelaide, it performs well in full sun to part shade and tolerates periods of dryness once established. Good drainage is essential, particularly in clay soils, so improving the soil with organic matter is recommended before planting. Mulch well to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

In Sydney and Brisbane, ‘On Par’ adapts well to humid conditions and thrives in well-drained soils with regular watering during the warmer months. Light afternoon shade helps in extreme heat, though it handles full sun in cooler seasons. Pruning after new growth flushes keeps the plant dense and compact.

Feed with a slow-release fertiliser in spring and autumn to support healthy growth. Suitable for coastal gardens and urban environments, Pittosporum 'On Par' is a versatile, low-maintenance option for structured planting schemes across a range of Australian climates.
