Syzygium Cascade is a gorgeous and newly developed native lilly pilly hybrid that thrives in Perth gardens.

It makes a brilliant screening plant, feature shrub, or hedge for backyard growers wanting fast growth and vibrant colour.

Cascade grows fast and handles Perth summers with ease once rooted in. Its dense weeping foliage keeps things private, while birds and bees love the fluffy flowers. It takes hard pruning like a champ, so keeping it tidy is simple. Plant it directly in soil or set it up in a big tub.
Interesting Notes:
The bright pink berries are edible, crisp, and slightly tart, perfect for making native jams or jellies.
This hybrid naturally stays smaller and bushier than standard lilly pillies, saving you heaps of pruning time. Less than 4 metres.
