About Your New Ficus Hillii Flash
Ficus hillii ‘Flash’ is a fast-growing evergreen commonly used for dense hedging, privacy screening, and pleaching. With lime-green new growth that contrasts against its glossy, dark green foliage, it delivers a clean, structured look suited to residential and commercial landscapes.
This variety is valued for its compact form, fast establishment, and low maintenance requirements. It responds exceptionally well to pruning, making it easy to maintain at a consistent height and shape — ideal for boundary lines, green walls, or formal hedges.
It grows best in full sun to part shade and performs reliably across a range of soil types. Once established, it holds its structure well and delivers consistent coverage throughout the year.
Ficus ‘Flash’ is one of our best sellers — chosen regularly by landscapers, councils and developers for projects that demand fast results, clean structure, and minimal upkeep.
