Pittosporum Ralphii Stephens Island

Pittosporum Ralphii, commonly known as Stephens Island Pittosporum, is a small evergreen shrub native to Stephens Island in New Zealand. It typically reaches a height of 1-2 meters and features glossy, dark green leaves with wavy margins. This species is known for its ornamental value, with fragrant, creamy-white flowers that bloom in spring, adding to its charm.

To successfully grow Pittosporum ralphii, select a well-draining soil in a sunny to partially shaded location. Plant it during the spring or early autumn, and water regularly to establish a strong root system. Prune occasionally to maintain shape and remove dead or diseased branches. Fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in the growing season to promote healthy growth.

Pittosporum ralphii is a hardy plant that can thrive in various soil types and is relatively low-maintenance once established. Its elegant foliage and fragrant blooms make it a delightful addition to gardens, hedges, or as a container plant.  Excellent as a low hedge, screening option as it requires less pruning than other Pittosporum species.
