Description
Adding a magical touch to gardens, the "Plum Magic" Lilly Pilly (Syzygium australe) is all about deep, enchanting shades. This medium to large shrub sports new growth of rich plum red, truly embodying its magical name. The result of a union between “Resilience” and “Winter Lights”, it's clear where it gets its charm and resilience from.
Planting it in sandy grounds? Sprinkle some soil conditioner to let it thrive and unleash its full magical potential. When Bunuru (late summer) hits and the temps rise, this plum wonder might fancy a little extra drink. Keep its magical aura intact with a gentle trim post-flowering, and watch as it continues to spellbind year after year.
