‘TASMAN RUFFLES’ PITTOSPORUM

PITTOSPORUM TENUIFOLIUM ‘TASMAN RUFFLES’

‘Tasman Ruffles’ shines with crimped, silvery lime-green foliage that fills its contrasting reddish-black stems. These evergreen leaves can have a thin cream-colored margin, which accents their wavy edges. In spring, bundles of showy purple flowers bloom, lending contrast to the enchanting foliage.

Tasman Ruffles grows as a compact pyramid 5 to 10 feet
