Ugni molinae 'Flambeau', Variegated Chilean Guava

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, UK. A little protection would be in order, and so worth it — so much prettiness, flavor, and color to be had. Evergreen. Mature size: 4-5 ft tall & 3-4 ft W, possibly up to 10 feet tall in ideal conditions. Minimum temperature: 20° F
