Description How to Grow Delivery

An attractive evergreen shrub that also produces exotic berries with an indescribable flavour!

Ugni molinae ‘Strawberries and Cream’ forms a small, dense, evergreen shrub with leathery, aromatic leaves. In late spring to summer, nodding white to pink bell-shaped flowers with dark red ovaries dangle from long stalks, their sweet fragrance enticing bees. The flowers are followed by perfumed, wine-red berries that are not just attractive but surprisingly delicious! Variously described as strawberry, sherbert and blueberry, these sugary berries have a unique herbal flavour that simply must be experienced.

Ugni molinae ‘Strawberries and Cream’ is a low maintenance shrub, hardy in most areas of the UK provided it is given a warm, sunny and sheltered position away from cold winds. It is also suitable for a sunny container, allowing it to be easily moved into a sheltered spot over winter if needed. Height: 1.5m (5ft). Spread: 1m (3ft).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

Pot up your Chilean Guava and grow on in frost free conditions. When plants are well grown and all risk of frost has passed, gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for a period of 7 to 10 days.

Transplant your shrub into borders and containers outdoors in moist, well-drained soil. Choose a warm position in full sun with shelter from cold, drying winds. A south-facing border, sunny patio or sheltered wall is ideal. When growing in containers use a soil-based compost such as John Innes No. 3.

Although hardy in most areas, in more northerly gardens or in very harsh winters it is recommended that frost protection such as fleecing is provided. Chilean Guava grows very happily in a pot in which case it can be brought into the greenhouse or conservatory over the winter if needed.
