🐦 What is the Lilly Pilly Blue?
The Lilly Pilly Blue is a robust, fast-growing evergreen shrub or small tree. It erupts in a spectacular display of fluffy, white to pale pink flowers in spring, which then transform into masses of beautiful berries. These berries mature from a creamy-white to a deep, dusky pink, and finally to a rich, dark purple-blue. While tart, the berries are edible and can be used to make delicious jams, jellies, and sauces. More importantly, they are a magnet for beautiful birds, bringing your garden to life! 🎵
