Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Gold Star'
Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Gold Star' is a compact, bushy evergreen shrub grown for its colourful, gently wavy foliage. The leaves combine green with golden-yellow central markings, developing pale midribs as they mature. Reddish-brown stems add further contrast, creating an attractive display throughout the year.
Its dense growth makes it useful for mixed borders, informal hedging and large patio containers, where the variegated foliage brings brightness and structure. In late spring, small maroon flowers may appear amongst the leaves, adding a subtle honey-like fragrance. Light trimming can help maintain a tidy outline.
Grow in full sun or partial shade with fertile, moist but well-drained soil. A sunny position encourages the best foliage colour, while shelter from cold, drying winds helps protect the leaves. Young plants may need winter protection in colder gardens, and container plants benefit from regular watering during dry spells.
