Treat the butterflies and bees of your garden with this tropical-looking shrub
Introduce an evergreen beauty to your garden, this 'Pineapple Guava' shrub offers year-round foliage interest, with flamboyant flowers in late spring.
This shrub grows impressively, up to a height and spread just short of 2m in maturity, with rich green leaves. Transition the tail end of spring into summer days with unique sorbet-pink and ice-white flowers, which are rich in sweet nectar to attract pollinators.
Plus, it's not just about the flowers and foliage, as autumn can occassionally see green egg-shaped fruits emerge on the plant. These fruits are very similiar to kiwi, with succulent flesh and a tropical taste, but smoother in appearance. Either sample the fruit fresh from the shrub or bake them into a unique pie or crumble for the dinner table.
Very easy to grow and particularly well-suited to life in a big patio pot or planter. Despite originating from South America, this variety will still grow reliably in your UK garden, and is hardy to withstand conditions down to -5C, only requiring some winter protection when a bitter cold spell is forecast.
Supplied as an established plant in a 2L pot, ready to plant. Please note, at certain times of this year this may be supplied in a 3L pot.
