Notes
'Nana' mock orange (Pittosporum tobira 'Nana') is a shrub for borders, containers, hedges, and foundation plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist soil of most types. It grows into a dense, evergreen mound that stays 12 to 24 inches tall and wide. The blooms are fragrant, and the plant tolerates drought and salt. Deer tend to browse other plants first.
