Pittosporum 'Silver Sheen' is a popular New Zealand native shrub renowned for its elegant silvery-green foliage and contrasting dark stems. It's fine-textured leaves shimmer in the light, creating a sophisticated and contemporary look that makes it an excellent choice for screening, hedging, and feature planting.

With a naturally upright and dense growth habit, Silver Sheen forms a narrow, attractive screen that provides privacy without taking up excessive garden space. Growing to approximately 4m high and 1.5m wide, it is ideal for boundary planting, shelter, and architectural garden designs.

Hardy, drought tolerant once established, and well suited to coastal and exposed conditions, Pittosporum 'Silver Sheen' is a reliable, low-maintenance plant that performs exceptionally well throughout New Zealand. Its year-round evergreen foliage provides lasting colour, texture, and structure in both residential and commercial landscapes.
