Pittosporum 'Bannow Bay'
A stunning evergreen shrub that brings year-round sophistication to the garden with its elegant, wavy-edged leaves displaying a striking silvery green hue, edged with a creamy white margin that develops pink flushes in cooler weather. The variegated foliage creates a luminous effect in borders, making it particularly valuable for brightening shady corners or adding contrast to darker planting schemes. More compact and refined than many pittosporums, it forms a naturally dense, rounded shape that works beautifully as a specimen plant or low hedge, requiring minimal pruning to maintain its attractive form. Small, honey-scented purple flowers appear in late spring, adding subtle charm. Exceptionally hardy and tolerant of coastal conditions, it thrives in sun or partial shade while withstanding wind and drought once established. A superb choice for adding structure and year-round interest to contemporary or coastal gardens.
