Common Name: Silver Sheen Dream Pittosporum

Description:
Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Silver Sheen Dream' is an elegant, fast-growing evergreen shrub or small tree, known for its distinctive silvery-green foliage that adds brightness and contrast to any landscape. Its small, glossy leaves shimmer in the light, creating a soft, airy effect, while its naturally upright growth makes it perfect for hedging and screening. In spring and summer, it produces small, dark purple, honey-scented flowers that attract bees. Thriving in Melbourne’s climate, 'Silver Sheen Dream' is highly drought-tolerant once established and can withstand coastal conditions, light frosts, and wind exposure. It responds well to pruning, making it an excellent choice for both formal and informal gardens.
