Pittosporum Silver Sheen

Pittosporum tenuifolium ‘Silver Sheen’ is a popular evergreen shrub known for its attractive, glossy, silver-green foliage. It’s a cultivar of the Pittosporum tenuifolium species, native to New Zealand. Here are some key details about this plant:

Key Characteristics:

  • Foliage: The leaves are narrow, leathery, and have a silvery sheen that gives the plant its name. The new growth often appears brighter in color, creating an appealing contrast with older, darker foliage.
  • Size: It typically grows to a height of around 6 to 10 feet (1.8 to 3 meters), but it can be pruned to maintain a smaller, more compact form.
  • Flowers: Small, dark maroon to purple flowers appear in spring, though they are not particularly showy. They may produce a pleasant fragrance.
  • Hardiness: It is frost-tolerant to some extent, but generally prefers mild winters and a sheltered location.
  • Soil & Sunlight: It does well in a variety of soils, as long as they are well-draining. It prefers full sun to partial shade, but will tolerate some shade.
  • Uses: Commonly used in hedging, as a specimen shrub, or in coastal gardens due to its tolerance for wind and salt spray.

Care & Maintenance:

  • Watering: Once established, it is drought-tolerant, but will perform better with regular watering during dry spells.
  • Pruning: Regular pruning helps maintain a tidy shape and encourages bushier growth. It’s ideal for use in topiary or as a formal hedge.
  • Pests & Problems: Generally pest-resistant but may occasionally suffer from issues such as aphids or scale.

This variety of Pittosporum is particularly appreciated for its striking appearance and versatility in different landscaping designs.
