Nursery contributed plant descriptions

(Variegated Chilean Guava) Showy evergreen shrub with green, pink and yellow variegated foliage on arching red stems, eventually 3-4’ high and wide. White bell flowers in summer produce small red fall fruits in warmer climates (in cooler areas who cares about fruit with the beautiful leaves?). Sun to light shade in a sheltered position out of cold winter winds in moist, well drained, acidic soil. Adapts well to pot culture. A lot of bang for your buck even as a seasonal annual.

Colorful leaves of white and green with pink new growth tips are plenty ornamental enough. But then, hidden among the foliage, are white-fringed pink bell-flowers in spring and summer that are fragrant too! Purportedly Queen Victoria liked its unique fruit and so do many others - makes a popular preserve in Cornwall. A little protection would be in order, and so worth it - so much prettiness, flavor, and color to be had. Evergreen. Minimum temperature: 20°F
