Pineapple Guava
This is a South American shrub, and a good choice if you want something completely different because of its marvellous midsummer show of individual purple-red flowers with white edging. Growth is solid and bushy, with grey-green leaves. It isn't totally hardy, and needs the warmth of a sheltering wall with excellent drainage. It is also useful in coastal gardens because it tolerates salt, and can be grown as a protective hedge.
I bought this for about £14 plus postage from www. GardenBargains.com Ideal World~ came nicely wrapped in a big box~ well worth the money!
