Ugni molinae
-- Strawberry Guava --This is an ornamental plant
that also bears small fruit, deliciously flavored like wild
strawberries, but tart, and with a strawberry aroma. Hardy in zones
8-10, it has small, glossy, dark green leaves with attractive red and
purple new growth. Because of its dense growth, it can make a hedge, as
well as a specimen plant, growing to 5' or more. Flowers are small,
(but cover the plant) pink or white, with prominent stamens. Fruits are
burgundy and blueberry-sized, ready for eating or preserving in autumn.
Name is synonymous with Myrtus ugni and Eugenia ugni. Argentina,
Bolivia, and Chile. |

Uncinia rubra -- Red Hook Sedge -- Grassy perennial with a wonderful ruby color on new growth, turning to rich brown as the blades mature, providing a very unusual color contrast at the front of a border or as a specimen. Glossy leaves may reach 12" or a bit more. Dark brown to black flowers on narrow spikes precede hooked, nutlike fruits on the female flowers. Zone 8.
