Eugenia 'Amber Glow'

Eugenia 'Amber Glow' Details

Eugenia ventenatii, commonly known as Lilly Pilly, is a fast-growing and popular shrub owing to its lush and colourful foliage. The new foliage is a striking red-bronze colour and ages to become dark green, which results in the plant having dual colouring during active growth. The small and glossy leaves are produced on a dense network of short branches. Small and fragrant, white flowers are produced in summer and provide extra interest to this plant. It typically grows to 4 m tall and 3 m wide and can be trimmed as necessary which encourages new growth. This Eugenia grows best when planted in full sun on a well-drained site, and it is tolerant of dry periods, moderate frost, cool climates, and coastal conditions. Eugenia ‘Amber Glow’ is commonly used for hedging and screening, as a backdrop for smaller plants, as a specimen plant, added to a mixed planting, or grown in a container. As a potted plant it looks impressive on a patio or around pool and other living areas.
