Syzygium Bush Christmas is a vibrant, compact lilly pilly that brings year-round interest and a burst of brilliant colour to the garden. Its standout feature is the eye-catching flush of bright red to deep pink new growth, creating a festive, “Christmas-like” display that contrasts beautifully against glossy green mature foliage.
Naturally dense and tidy, growing 3-5m x 2m this hardy evergreen shrub is perfect for hedging, screening, borders or feature planting. It responds well to pruning, making it easy to shape into neat formal hedges or lush informal screens. Small white flowers may appear in summer, sometimes followed by decorative berries that attract birds. Prune to size and shape
Tough, fast growing and well suited to Australian conditions, Bush Christmas thrives in a wide range of climates and is an excellent choice for privacy, structure and colour in both residential and commercial landscapes.
Features:
Brilliant red to pink new growth flush
Dense, compact hedging plant
Glossy evergreen foliage year-round
Ideal for hedges, screens and topiary
Bird attracting flowers and berries
Hardy, fast growing and low maintenance
Planting Tips:
Plant in full sun to part shade in well-drained soil. Water regularly while establishing. Prune lightly to encourage fresh colourful growth and maintain a dense shape. Apply a slow-release fertiliser in spring for best performance.
A bright and reliable native that adds structure, privacy and a splash of festive colour to any garden setting.
