The Pittosporum 'Marjorie Channon' is a striking evergreen shrub known for its variegated foliage and elegant, upright growth habit. It features soft green leaves edged in creamy white, which shimmer in the light and add brightness to garden spaces year-round. This cultivar typically grows 8 to 10 feet tall and 4 to 6 feet wide, making it an excellent choice for hedging, screening, or as a feature plant in mixed borders. In spring, it produces small, dark purple, honey-scented flowers that are subtle but attract pollinators and add seasonal interest.
‘Marjorie Channon’ is valued for its hardiness and adaptability. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil, tolerating drought once established. Its upright form and manageable size make it suitable for both formal and informal landscapes, and it responds well to pruning if shaping is desired. In coastal or urban environments, it performs well due to its tolerance of wind and salt spray. Whether used as a luminous backdrop for other plants or a stand-alone ornamental shrub, Pittosporum ‘Marjorie Channon’ brings both texture and brightness to a wide variety of garden settings.
