Notes

'Wheeler's Dwarf' mock orange (Pittosporum tobira 'Wheeler's Dwarf') is a shrub for 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, sandy or clay soil. Fragrant flowers open from early to late spring. The dense evergreen leaves give you color all year. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything.

Pairs well with Oleander, Mondo grass, and Pineapple sage.
