Pittosporum Tenuifolium Ivory Sheen
Pittosporum tenuifolium Ivory Sheen is a less common form of this popular evergreen hedging plant.
Elegant, bushy, and upright it will reach 5mt in height and 2mt in width after 5 years if grown in ideal conditions. Plant in full sun or partial shade and water moderately. The ivory gloss leaves look spectacular as a screening plant, giving an interesting contrast tone to any garden.
Keep moist during summer months, but make certain not to over water. Moderate pruning may be required to keep its already dense, tight shape.
Pittosporum Tenuifolium 'Ivory Sheen' thrives in well-drained soil and prefers a sunny or partly shaded position. It requires regular watering during establishment but becomes more drought-tolerant as it matures. Pruning helps maintain its shape, ideally done in late winter or early spring. It benefits from occasional feeding with a balanced fertilizer to encourage healthy growth. Mulching around the base helps retain moisture and suppress weeds. This plant can tolerate a variety of soil types, but it dislikes waterlogged conditions. It's ideal for hedging, screening, or as a feature plant in the garden.
