Why we love this plant!

This vibrant variety is prized for its striking pink-red new growth, fluffy white flowers, and bird-attracting berries. It thrives in South East Queensland’s climate, handling both humidity and dry spells well. ‘Cascade’ is excellent for hedging, borders, or ornamental topiary, bringing colour and texture to the landscape. Its dense growth habit also makes it a useful windbreak or privacy screen, while supporting local wildlife by providing shelter and food sources.
