Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Sunburst' is a remarkable evergreen shrub exhibiting a striking blend of gold and green hued oval leaves. Native to New Zealand and known as Sunburst Kohuhu, its captivating variegated foliage and the dance of its lush, glossy leaves capture the eye, while presenting a unique pop of color to any garden setting. Standing tall and wide up to 3-5 meters, it thrives under sun-drenched skies as well as yielding partial shade, proving its versatility in different environments. Once late spring comes around, the whimsical production of small, bell-shaped, dark purple flowers reveal themselves providing a charming balance against its lustrous leaves. Remarkably resilient and drought-resistant, Sunburst Kohuhu's moderate growth pace adapts effortlessly to a wide range of climates, including coastal conditions. Furthermore, it endorses a strong resistance against common pests and diseases, making it a simple yet compelling choice for any horticultural enthusiast looking for an attractive yet low maintenance element. Please note, as enchanting as the Sunburst Kohuhu is, it should be admired from afar as it contains components which can be toxic if consumed.
