Perfect for creating privacy screens or formal hedges, it produces rich bronze-red new leaves that mature to a glossy deep green. In summer, clusters of fluffy white flowers are followed by ornamental pink berries, adding seasonal interest. True to its name, ‘Resilience’ is naturally resistant to psyllid damage, making it a reliable, low-maintenance choice for Australian gardens.

Plant Lilly Pilly ‘Resilience’ in well-drained soil and water regularly while establishing. Once established, it tolerates dry periods but benefits from occasional deep watering during hot, dry weather. Feed with a slow-release fertiliser in spring and again in summer to encourage lush growth. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and density. This variety thrives in full sun to part shade and is naturally resistant to psyllid pests.
