Description
Syzygium australe Winter Lights is a highly decorative Australian native lilly pilly selected for its brilliant red new foliage and glossy green mature leaves. It forms a compact to moderately upright shrub and produces fluffy white flowers in spring, followed by purple berries that attract bird life. Unlike many lilly pillies, this variety is resistant to psyllids and grows to a manageable height, making it ideal for hedging, screening, topiary, and feature planting.
