Syzygium Cascade - lilly pilly
We're rapt to have this super-popular lilly pilly in our range, as it is arguably the most beautiful too! BIG leaves that emerge a beautiful deep shell-pink and deepen to the colour of expensive blusher, hanging gracefully down in a waterfall; and BIG deep pink fluffy pompom flowers.
If it is possible to be showy and tasteful, Cascade achieves it.
