Waterhousea floribunda ‘Amaroo’ – Amaroo Weeping Lilly Pilly

About Your New Waterhousea floribunda ‘Amaroo’ – Amaroo Weeping Lilly Pilly

Waterhousea floribunda 'Amaroo' is an evergreen Australian native grown for its graceful weeping habit and soft, layered canopy. Narrow glossy green leaves hang gently from fine stems, giving a flowing, textured appearance, with fresh new growth maturing to deep green.

Amaroo grows to 6-10 metres tall and 4-6 metres wide, forming a softly weeping crown. It performs best in full sun to partial shade, prefers well-drained soil with consistent moisture during establishment, and responds well to shaping. The dense habit makes it well suited to screening, feature planting, and softening boundaries in residential and commercial landscapes.

Amaroo suits warm temperate and subtropical climates across NSW, QLD, and frost-free parts of VIC, and tolerates humidity, coastal exposure, and regular pruning. It is evergreen and low maintenance, holding reliable structure year-round.
