Tips for Planting and Growing Lilly Pilly

Lilly pilly thrives best in well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. After planting, mulch around the base to keep moisture in and suppress weeds. Water regularly during establishment, but once settled, lilly pilly is drought-tolerant. Pruning encourages bushiness—trim 2–3 times a year for a thick hedge or shape as desired. Be sure to feed with a slow-release fertiliser in spring to support strong growth and vibrant colour.
