Backyard Bliss is a lush, fast-growing Lilly Pilly variety, ideal for creating a privacy screen between 2–4 metres tall. It’s an excellent alternative to the Weeping Lilly Pilly for those who don’t need quite as much height, with a mature size of around 5 metres. Its compact form, reaching 2 metres wide, makes it perfect for smaller garden beds, courtyards, and narrow fence lines. Low-maintenance and reliable, a gentle prune will keep it dense and neatly shaped.
