Product Information
We do our best to ensure product descriptions, specifications, care information, and other details shown on our website are accurate and up to date. However, this information is provided as a general guide only and may occasionally vary between batches, suppliers, or individual plants.

Stock availability
Our website stock levels update live based on our inventory system, and we work hard to keep them as accurate as possible. However, stock counts can occasionally be incorrect due to in-store sales, damage, or stock discrepancies. This is especially possible when only 1 or 2 units are showing as available.

Plant images
Plant photos are provided as a guide to show what a plant may look like when mature and established. In most cases, the image shown is not of the exact individual plant for sale, as this would require constant photo updates across our range. Plants purchased may vary from the images shown in size, fullness, colour, and stage of growth.

Plant sizing
Sizes refer to the size of the pot the plant is sold in, rather than the exact size of the plant itself. For example,

  • 100 mm refers to a 10 cm diameter pot,
  • 140 mm refers to a 14 cm diameter pot,
  • 5L refers to a 5 litre pot, etc.

In general, smaller pot sizes usually indicate younger plants, though the actual size and development of the plant can vary significantly depending on the species, variety, and growth habit.

Photo sourcing and AI-generated imagery
Images used on our website are either owned by Kambarang Garden Centre, used under free-use licensing, or used with permission from the original owner. In some cases, AI-assisted imagery may be used where suitable real-world photos are difficult to obtain, in order to help demonstrate what a plant looks like. Where this is done, care is taken to ensure the image remains as true to life as reasonably possible.

Description

The Leyland Cypress (Hesperotropsis leylandii, syn. Hesperocyparis macrocarpa x Callitropsis nootkatensis, also Cupressus and Cupressocyparis), 'Silver Dust,' is a stunning conifer with distinctive variegated foliage that features white-tipped, silvery-green leaves. This unique colouring adds a striking visual element to gardens, creating a luminous effect when sunlight catches its textured branches. With its upright, dense growth habit, 'Silver Dust' is ideal for use as a privacy screen, windbreak, or an eye-catching feature in any landscape.

Thriving in full sun, 'Silver Dust' requires plenty of light to maintain its vibrant variegation. This hardy conifer grows best in well-draining soils, including sandy types common to Perth gardens. Regular watering is essential during the establishment phase, after which it becomes more drought-tolerant. Prune annually to encourage dense growth and maintain its shape. Perfect for medium to large gardens, 'Silver Dust' is a versatile and low-maintenance choice for Perth's sunny climate.
