Why we love this plant!

The Lilly Pilly Dwarf is a compact, low-maintenance native shrub that provides year-round visual interest with its vibrant orange-red new growth, fluffy cream flowers, and fleshy pink berries. Its edible fruit supports local wildlife, attracting birds and pollinators, while also contributing to soil health and biodiversity. This variety is particularly valued for its resistance to psyllids, making it an excellent option for hedging, screening, or container planting. It thrives in South East Queensland’s humid climate and is well-suited to gardens from Brisbane to the Sunshine Coast.
