Acmena 'Allyn Magic'

Acmena 'Allyn Magic'

Purchased in May 2018 from Manawee nursery for $20.00

An outstanding and very compact Acmena variety with a wide range of applications in the garden and landscape.  The evergreen plants feature colourful foliage and are hardy to moderate frosts and tolerant to full sun.  They need only minimum water in drought situations and usually reach a maximum of 50cm High
Acmena Allyn Magic is ideal for borders, feature plantings or containers.  It prefers full sun or part shade for best results and may be trimmed or hedged to shape if required.  Fertilise at moderate to low rates and apply mulch to help conserve moisture.
Acmena Allyn Magic produces flushes of colourful new growth throughout all seasons of the year and is a psyllid free lilly pilly 


Full Sun to Part Shade
Height to 50cm Width to 1mtr.  Prune at any time of year, not only to retain shape and size but also to promote new growth.
