Description
Pittosporum tenuifolium ‘Silver Ball’
Pittosporum tenuifolium Silver Ball is one of several exciting ball varieties that stand out for their compact growth, striking foliage, and impressive architectural form. This variety naturally forms a neat, dome-shaped mound without the need for frequent pruning, reaching around 1 metre in height at maturity. With regular trimming, it can be shaped into an even tighter, more compact sphere, offering a perfect alternative to traditional boxwood. The small, glossy grey-green leaves, edged with irregular white variegation, create a dense, evergreen shrub that is hardy, low-maintenance, and resistant to disease. Pittosporum tenuifolium Silver Ball works beautifully in decorative containers, where it can be grown similarly to box balls to highlight architectural features. It can also be planted in borders to provide striking, year-round structure or used as a low hedge. Mature height and spread reach approximately 1.2 metres (4 feet).
