Expert Plant Selection Tip

For a dense hedge, plant your chosen species 1 to 1.5 metres apart, depending on mature width. Lilly Pillies thrive in full sun to part shade and respond well to pruning after each flush of growth. For lush foliage and fast coverage, feed with a slow-release fertiliser twice a year and mulch well.
