About Pittosporum Tenuifolium Silver Sheen 5 Litre Pot

Pittosporum tenuifolium ‘Silver Sheen’

Airy evergreen structure with shimmering silver foliage

Pittosporum tenuifolium ‘Silver Sheen’ is a striking evergreen shrub prized for its fine, silvery-green leaves and light, airy habit. The foliage is tiny, rounded, and almost translucent, catching the light beautifully and creating a shimmering effect that adds movement and elegance to the garden.

Its upright growth and delicate texture make it ideal for modern planting schemes, screening, or informal hedging. It’s particularly effective when used as a backdrop for bolder plants, or in coastal, Mediterranean, or contemporary garden designs.


Key Features:

  • Silvery-green foliage with a shimmering appearance

  • Naturally upright, airy habit – ideal for hedging or screening

  • Evergreen for year-round interest

  • Fast-growing and easy to shape

  • Suitable for coastal or urban gardens


Growing Conditions:

  • Position: Full sun to partial shade

  • Soil: Prefers well-drained soil; avoid waterlogged ground

  • Hardiness: Hardy in most milder parts of the UK (down to approx. -5°C); may need winter protection in colder areas

  • Maintenance: Prune lightly to maintain shape or encourage density; feed in spring

  • Spread: 1.5–2.5m

If you’re looking to add a light, contemporary feel to your garden, Pittosporum ‘Silver Sheen’ is an excellent choice. Its unique colouring and airy form bring a refined, architectural touch with minimal upkeep.
