Mona Lavender (Spur flower) is a particularly attractive variety that does not spread like other members of the family, but rather forms a neat low shrub with an upright, erect habit. Numerous spikes of lavender coloured flowers begin to appear from late Summer through Autumn complementing the ornamental foliage of deep green leaves with dark wine purple coloured undersides. This fast growing plant is best placed in a full sun to part shade location. | Pittosporum tenuifolium ‘Silver Sheen’
