How to Grow and Care for Weeping Lilly Pilly

Regardless of where you source your plant, successful lilly pilly hedges come down to positioning, feeding, and pruning. Lilly pillies—including the weeping types—prefer a sunny to light shade position in free-draining soil. Once established, they’re hardy to wind, light frost, and coastal conditions. Water deeply during dry periods and apply a slow-release fertiliser in spring for the lushest foliage.

Regular trimming encourages dense growth and helps maintain the attractive weeping form. Keep an eye out for psyllid or scale—both easily controlled with horticultural oil or organic sprays.
