Why Choose a Lilly Pilly Hedge?

Lilly pilly (Eugenia and Syzygium species) are an ideal hedge choice for New Zealanders. These versatile natives of Australia and Asia adapt easily to our climate, tolerate light frost, and respond beautifully to trimming. Whether you need a fast-growing privacy hedge or a formal clipped screen, the lilly pilly hedge stands out for its resilience and year-round appeal. Berries produced by many varieties attract birds and add seasonal colour, while dense foliage means your hedge will truly block sound, wind, and prying eyes.

How to Grow a Lilly Pilly Hedge

Plant your lilly pilly hedge in a sunny or lightly shaded spot with well-drained soil. Space plants about 80cm apart for a dense hedge, or more widely for an informal screen. Water regularly after planting, and mulch well to keep roots cool and moist. Once established, lilly pilly hedges are drought-tolerant and respond quickly to a light prune, so you can easily maintain the shape and height you prefer. Fertilise in spring with a slow-release formula, and watch as your hedge flourishes into a lush green wall.
