Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Wrinkle Blue'

Description:
Distinctive, evergreen New Zealand native shrub with dense, compact growth and unique blue-grey foliage that has a slightly crinkled or "wrinkled" appearance. The attractive foliage provides year-round colour and texture, making it an excellent contrast plant in modern, native, or coastal landscapes. In spring, mature plants may produce small, dark purple, honey-scented flowers nestled among the foliage.

Height:
2–3m

Width:
1.5–2m

Position:
Full sun to part shade. Best foliage colour develops in full sun. Tolerates wind, coastal exposure, and light frost once established.

Soil:
Prefers fertile, well-drained soil but adapts to a wide range of soil types, including sandy and clay soils, provided drainage is good. Avoid prolonged waterlogging.

Uses:

• Screening and informal hedging
• Feature or specimen shrub
• Mixed shrub borders
• Coastal and native gardens
• Contemporary landscapes
• Low-maintenance planting

Care Tips:

• Water regularly during establishment; once established it tolerates dry periods
• Trim lightly once or twice a year to maintain a dense, tidy shape
• Apply a balanced slow-release fertiliser in spring to encourage healthy growth
• Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds, keeping mulch away from the trunk
• Hardy and well suited to New Zealand conditions, tolerating wind, coastal exposure, and light frost
• Avoid prolonged waterlogging to promote healthy root development
