Description	Buxus microphylla  Korean Box is a fantastic compact shrub with long but finer leaves than most buxus. It's foliage is a bright green long oval shape with gloss. It is one of the lowest growing buxus and so is ideal for box hedging, however it can tend to turn yellow in full sun, so it will prefer a part shade/filtered light position. Korean box is one of the slower growing varieties and is great in pots or as topiary's. This plant has a moderate growth rate that grows to approximately 50-60cm in height. Plant every 20cm - 5 per meter for an optimum hedge.	Pittosporum Tobira "Japanese Mock Orange" Japanese Mock Orange is a shrub that gets its name from its clusters of small white flowers which have a sweet fragrance similar to orange blossoms. Mock orange is a plant for all seasons. The evergreen foliage has a smooth, leathery texture and forms in whorls around the stems. Perfect for plating near patios or porches where the gorgeous foliage, fragrant flowers and frequent butterfly visitors can be experienced up close. Japanese Mock Orange is an excellent specimen, foundation, or border plant. Looks beautiful when grouped or massed in a shrub border. Grows to approximately 3m in height. Loves a full sunlight position.
