Here's a shrub to show visitors to your garden - with grey-green leaves, white-felted beneath, and most attractive and rather unusual flowers with crimson and white petals and numerous prominent crimson stamens. In a hot summer, these are followed by egg-sized and shaped berries which are edible, having a Guava-like flavour. However, not only are these fruits edible, but the flower petals also, these having a rich, aromatic flavour. Almost hardy, but likes a warm, sunny position. Brazil.
