Myrtus ugni “Kapow” is an evergreen shrub also known as the Chilean guava it has small dark green leathery leaves ” Kapow” was named by James Wong waving the flag for unusual edibles,Myrtus ugni “Kapow” produces dark red berries that taste a bit like wild strawberries x kiwi, and are ripe in late Autumn, it’s self fertile too, the fruits make excellent jam or try them in muffins. In May small palest pink bell shaped flowers appear, maybe the common name should have been the lily of the valley tree.It is best grown in a sunny sheltered spot, if you don’t have one it’s equally happy in a pot so that you can move it under cover for the winter.

Fuchsia microphylla
Fuchsia microphylla is one of the most rewarding hardy fuchsias to grow, when it is in full flower although the blooms are small the whole bush is covered in them creating almost a magenta cloud! Although I am assured it can get taller here, it rarely gets taller than 1mtr in warmer areas it would grow from the hard wood frame but here we cut it back to 20cms in the spring and off it goes shooting up to 1mtr. Still flowering here well into November if we haven't had a frost!
Plants are supplied in a 7cm pot.
