This Syzygium variety can be shaped into tidy hedges or allowed to grow naturally for a relaxed, lush effect.

Planting and Care Tips

Establishing Lilly Pilly Resilience in NZ is easy. Plant in well-drained soil, and choose a sunny or partially shaded spot for best growth.

Feed with a slow-release fertiliser each spring to promote rich foliage and healthy new growth. Regular trimming will keep your hedge compact and help maintain its shape.
