Pittosporum Raphii, commonly known as Ralph's Kohuhu, is a striking native shrub with a naturally rounded, bushy form. Its large, dark-green leaves feature distinctive white undersides, creating visual interest as they move in the breeze. Fragrant dark red flowers bloom into impressive round seedpods that add seasonal character to your garden. This hardy pittosporum thrives in dry, windy locations and tolerates shade well, making it versatile for challenging sites. More frost-hardy than P. craifolium, it's an excellent choice for shelter planting and mixed borders across most of New Zealand's regions.
