A cultivar of what was once called Myrtus ugni, Ugni molinae Flambeau is a medium-sized, slow-growing, evergreen shrub with an open habit and edible berries. Elliptical to oval, glossy green leaves are attractively variegated with pink and cream margins, giving rise to its name of Flambeau or Torch. In summer, pink and white flowers like nodding bells appear, followed by aromatic, deep pink edible berries, with a delicious flavour. An easy, attractive and productive plant.
