Looking for a compact no trim topiary? Elfin could be just the plant for you!!! Elfin is an exciting dwarf Pittosporum selected for it's amazing tight habit. The mid green foliage of this selection is much tighter than other similar varieites with the individual internodes being not more the 5mm apart. To complement the dwarf habit the plant is quick growing making it the ideal nurseryman crop. Elfin is the ideal choice where space is limited, perfect for specimen pots or containers in the modern courtyard or ideal to define the edge of the formal border. Easy in any well-drained soil in full sun to light shade. A fantastic low maintenance selection.
