This Australian Native is also known as the Weeping Lilly Pilly due to its slightly drooping habit, which is visually very attractive. It is often used as a hedge/screen and responds well to pruning. Although often used as a hedge, it can also be planted as an evergreen tree.
The height is often determined by the conditions, but untrimmed will reach at least 8m. It can easily grow in many soil types, is frost tolerant and also copes well with damp soils. It is fast growing and has a lovely, lush, compact foliage with the new growth a pink/rust colour adding contrast.
16"/40cm pot size
We source our Waterhousia from Northern NSW as they have a warmer climate offering larger and bushier plants than those sourced locally, giving our customer better value for money. You may notice that the plants have some cosmetic psyllium damage that resemble bumps or blisters on some of the leaves. Rest assured our grower has sprayed the plants and there are no live psyllids remaining on them. Weeping Lilly Pillys are a popular choice with minimal berries and a lovely weeping evergreen habit, we know you will enjoy these plants . However if the cosmetic damage is something you are concerned about we can look to provide you alternative species that may also be of interest. | |

Blue Chalk is a visually appealing, spreading succulent with a distinct “blue” shade and interesting texture. Blue Chalk is native to South Africa and can easily tolerate harsh environments. It can be used in many forms ie: groundcover, in pots, as a border and to add contrast to your garden.
Blue Chalk is a very low maintenance plant that is drought tolerant and is also effective as a fire retardant! It is best in full sun through to part shade, is low growing and very quickly spreads to form a “carpet-like” effect.
