Notes from the plant tag:
"CASCADE" is an exciting new addition to the popular "Lilly Pilly" range of plants. Forming a round bushy shrub with flowing cascades of dripping red growth changing through shades of pink to green as the new growth ages. Flowers are 8 - 10 cm pink pom-pom clusters with gold tips forming on the ends of the hanging branches. They attract honeyeaters.
"CASCADE" is strong and hardy, reaching 2 to 3 m high, with a spread of 1 to 2 m. Thriving in full sun or part shade, Cascade's continual flashes of brilliant coloured new growth will liven up your garden with vivid colour changes.
CASCADE is a hybrid between a popular Small Leaf Lilly Pilly (S. leuhmannii) and the Powder Puff Lilly Pilly (S. wilsonii), producing clusters of pink flowers in spring, followed by a very edible pink fruit in early summer.
Good in large tubs, as a weeping specimen, plant or pruned into a dense, colourful hedge. Pruning to shape and regular applications of native slow-release fertiliser will keep CASCADE happy and healthy for many years.
