Very showy, evergreen flowering shrub, native to Australia but can be sometimes seen around Mediterranean coasts. It has dark green, glossy foliage but its main attraction are the flowers and fruits. Flowers on the new growth, it produces very pretty, showy powder-puff flowers(creamy colour) in late Spring to early Summer , followed by cherry sized fruits with a crispy flesh surrounding a pea sized seed. The masses of red, purple and pink fruits are particularly pretty when ripening in the Winter. Best to grow in large pots on the patio (or planted in the garden for the Summer) and so apart from the south coast of England, it should be overwintered frost free in an unheated room or in conservatory. It prefers a well drained but fertile soil and requires regular watering, however it is not too fussy to soil conditions and light.
