Weeping Lilly Pilly 180MM

Waterhousea floribunda

I am Weeping Lilly Pilly. My family originated from Eastern Australia.

Habit Tree - Evergreen Feature tree

Plant family Myrtaceae

I am the Australian native Weeping Lily Pilly. I have attractive shiny lime-green leaves, bright-pink new growth and a lush appearance year round. I form fluffy white flowers in summer which are followed by green, bird attracting fruits. Fast growing, I am the native of choice when a tall screening option is required.

I am popular and will make you happy because...

Fast growing with a naturally dense weeping habit I have wavy foliage making me the perfect screening plant

I produce white flowers in spring which are followed by round pink cherry sized berries

My flowers and berries attract beneficial insects, birds and other wildlife
