Low-water plants that look good all year AND provide us with food are hard to come by, and Chilean Guava is one of our best. This variegated version shows off gorgeous pink and creamy green leaves year-round, growing slowly to 3 - 6 ft. tall and wide. Tolerating sun or part shade and needing only occasional irrigation, 'Flambeau' works great as a medium sized shrub that provides you with 12 months of color - Small white flowers in Spring & Summer and dark red fruits in Fall. The fruits are small and tasty (like a cross between guava and strawberry); The leaves reportedly make a good tea, with the seeds serving as a coffee substitute. Chilean Guava looks amazing in a large pot, where its year-round interest and slow-gowth rate can be appreaciated.
