The Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Silver Magic' is an elegant, evergreen shrub prized for its striking variegated foliage and compact growth habit. This cultivar is a popular choice in British gardens for hedging, borders, and specimen planting due to its year-round visual appeal and low maintenance requirements.
'Silver Magic' is characterised by its small, wavy-edged leaves, which display a delightful blend of silvery-green centres with creamy-white margins, sometimes tinged with soft pink hues in cooler weather. These delicate leaves are borne on slender, dark purple to black stems, creating an attractive contrast that enhances the plant’s ornamental value. Over time, it forms a dense, bushy habit making it an excellent choice for compact spaces.
During late spring to early summer, 'Silver Magic' produces inconspicuous, honey-scented dark purple flowers, which attract pollinators such as bees. Though small, these blooms contribute to the plant’s overall charm.
This Pittosporum thrives in well-drained soil and prefers a sunny or partially shaded position. It is relatively hardy, tolerating temperatures down to around -5°C, though it benefits from some shelter in exposed or particularly frosty locations. Regular pruning helps maintain its shape and encourages denser foliage growth, especially when used as a hedge.
With its elegant variegation, year-round interest, and versatility in the landscape, Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Silver Magic' is a superb addition to contemporary and traditional gardens alike. It works beautifully as a specimen plant in pots, in mixed shrub borders, or clipped into formal shapes for structured garden designs. Its subtle yet sophisticated colouration ensures it complements a wide range of other plants, providing contrast and texture throughout the seasons.
