Marjorie Channon Kohuhu
Pittosporum tenuifolium ‘Marjorie Channon’
Marjorie Channon Kohuhu is a classic variegated shrub prized for its elegant, cream-edged foliage and graceful, upright habit. Each pale green leaf is neatly outlined in a band of creamy white, creating a luminous effect that brightens shady areas. In early summer, it adds a delightful fragrance with honey-scented, dark flowers. Growing into a large, dense shrub, it serves beautifully as a sophisticated specimen, a light-reflecting informal screen, or a stunning backdrop for flowering plants.
