Lillypilly ‘Cascade’

Syzygium luehmannii x Syzygium wilsonii

Synonyms: Weeping Lillypilly.

Cascade is a lovely weeping lillypilly, suitable as an informal hedge or garden specimen. Minimal pruning is required compared to other lillypillies, thanks to its pendulous foliage. ‘Cascade’ will stay looking full and neat without constant trimming, but should nonetheless be lightly trimmed once or twice a year to maintain size and keep the growth compact.

Cascade’s best feature though is surely the bright pink new growth. This creates an absolutely stunning tricolor effect. ‘Cascade’ also has attractive flowers, again in pink, and much larger than on other hedging lillypillies. This variety is extremely resistant to pest and diseases, including the dreaded psyllids.
