Pittosporum tenuifolium Golden Sheen

Common Name:
Golden Sheen Pittosporum

Description:
Pittosporum tenuifolium ‘Golden Sheen’ is a fast-growing, evergreen shrub known for its vibrant, golden-green foliage that shimmers in the sunlight. This hardy, low-maintenance plant forms a dense, upright habit, making it ideal for hedging, screening, or as a feature plant. Its small, glossy leaves and fine branching structure create a lush, soft appearance, while in spring, it produces small, dark purple, honey-scented flowers that attract pollinators. Golden Sheen thrives in well-drained soils, adapts well to full sun or part shade, and is drought and frost-tolerant once established. It is perfect for modern landscapes, providing year-round colour and privacy.
