Commonly Asked Questions

How far apart should I plant Weeping Lilly Pilly when creating a screening hedge? For a lush and effective screening hedge, we recommend planting your specimens at a distance of 1-1.5 meters apart. This optimal spacing ensures a dense growth, providing great privacy.

How fast do Weeping Lilly Pilly grow? Waterhouse is a fast-growing plant; you can expect around 1 meter of annual growth. This is one of the fastest rates of growth with all Lilly Pilly varieties, making it a very popular choice for customers wanting quick results. 

When should I prune my Waterhouse? Mid-winter is ideal for pruning before the new Spring foliage comes in. This will encourage new growth and assist in shaping your screening hedge. After pruning, provide adequate water and nutrients to support the plant's recovery. 

Will my Waterhousia flower? In Melbourne’s cooler climate, it’s uncommon for Waterhousea floribunda to flower, but in warmer, sheltered spots, you may see small fluffy white flowers in summer.

Can I Place An Order If I Am Located Regionally Or Interstate?

Yes you can.

We are also able to arrange deliveries to NSW and South Australia.

Your delivery will arrive via a professional plant transportation company.

Please note if you are ordering plants outside Victoria, first check with your states horticultural guidelines as not all plants are able to be supplied interstate.

Please note that due to insurance purposes our drivers unfortunately can not enter into apartment buildings. 

Will My Plants Arrive In One Delivery?

We do our best to ensure most orders arrive together in one delivery. However, if you’ve ordered a specialty item such as a Japanese Maple, it may be sent separately from one of our trusted specialty growers. This allows us to source the finest plants from the best growers for you. If your order is arriving in separate deliveries, our team will be in touch to let you know.

You can purchase directly online via checkout. Payment methods include credit card and Pay Pal. If your order is a custom order (Trade, Regional or Interstate) you will receive an invoice which can be paid via transfer or Pay Pal.

Will My Plants Look Like The Photos?

Yes, our photos are regularly updated to reflect the current availability of plants, their heights, sizes, and prices. If you require additional photos or confirmation of plant heights, we are always available to provide you with the information you need to make a confident purchase.

Please understand if your are purchasing a deciduous plant, the photos will show plants with their foliage.
