Lilly Pilly 'Hinterland Gold'

Lilly Pilly 'Hinterland Gold' — Striking Colour, Serious Screening

Most hedging plants are varying shades of green. Hinterland Gold is different. The new growth flushes a warm golden-bronze before maturing to deep green — giving your hedge a two-tone, layered look that's genuinely ornamental while still doing the job of a serious privacy screen.

It's a Lilly Pilly, so you get all the reliability SEQ gardeners expect — fast growth, dense canopy, psyllid resistance, and low maintenance once established. The colour is the bonus.

Why You'll Love It

  • Standout new growth — golden-bronze flushes contrast beautifully against mature dark green foliage
  • Dense and fast-growing — fills in quickly to create a solid privacy screen
  • Psyllid resistant — a significant advantage over older Lilly Pilly varieties
  • Low maintenance — takes well to shaping or grows naturally into a full hedge
  • SEQ tough — bred and acclimatised for Queensland heat and humidity

Landscape Uses

  • Boundary fence screening and privacy hedges
  • Feature hedge where colour contrast is wanted
  • Garden backdrop planting
  • Pool and entertaining area screening

Available Sizes

  • 140mm Pot — affordable starter, ideal for planting a full hedge run
  • 300mm Bag — well-established plant with strong root system, faster establishment

  • Mature width: 1.5–2.5m

  • Soil: Well-drained; adaptable to most SEQ soils

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it stay gold or turn green?
New growth flushes golden-bronze, then matures to deep green. So the hedge always has that warm contrast wherever new shoots are pushing — which is regular when it's actively growing.

How far apart should I plant them?
0.75m spacing gives a dense hedge faster. 1m spacing works fine if you're happy to wait a little longer for full coverage.

Is it the same as regular Lilly Pilly?
Same species (Syzygium australe), different cultivar. Same toughness and psyllid resistance — the difference is the coloured new growth.
