Plants for Summer Beauty

Pittosporum Marjorie Channon:
This pittosporum (or kohuhu) is a lovely broadleaf evergreen with mint-green and white variegated foliage that provides a stunning contrast to the glossy black stems. Marjorie’s upright habit lends itself to borders or as a centerpiece in a container planting. In the ground Marjorie can grow 8-10' high and up to 6' wide, and it is cold hardy to 15 degrees. |

Pittosporum Wrinkled Blue:
Another exciting kohuhu (I just like saying kohuhu), 'Wrinkled Blue' combines small, silvery blue wavy edged foliage with an airy habit and those quintessential black kohuhu (I said it again) stems. ‘Wrinkled Blue’ can be sheared to form a dense formal hedge or left unpruned for a fuller informal screen. |

Ardisia: A great non-aggressive evergreen groundcover for shady areas, Marlberry grows only 6-12" high and is dappled with white flowers through the summer. Following the blooms are large showy red berries which persist well into winter. 'Midgee' is an excellent groundcover shrub to plant along a shady walkway or under a tree. |
