It makes a dense, rounded mound of glossy, leathery, spoon-shaped leaves, each grey-green in the centre with a clean creamy-white margin, so the whole shrub looks bright and fresh even in the shade of a wall. In late spring small, creamy-white flowers with a sweet orange-blossom scent may appear among the foliage. It was selected for its neat, dwarf habit and for better cold tolerance than the older variegated forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness and seasons.\u003c\/strong\u003e Pittosporum tobira is a plant for \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/coastal-plants\"\u003emilder and coastal gardens\u003c\/a\u003e, and the RHS rates the species H3.
