Syzygium ‘Cascade’ (Lilly pilly) 200mm

Graceful and naturally elegant, Syzygium ‘Cascade’ is a weeping Lilly Pilly variety admired for its flowing habit and lush evergreen foliage. New growth emerges with soft bronze to pink tones before maturing to glossy green, creating year-round visual interest. Its pendulous form makes it ideal as a feature tree, informal screen, or large container specimen where its cascading branches can be appreciated. ‘Cascade’ is a hardy, low-maintenance option well suited to coastal and subtropical gardens, responding well to light pruning while retaining its distinctive shape. Small white flowers are followed by decorative pink to mauve berries that attract birds.
