Lavender Starflower
Grewia occidentalis, Grewia caffra
Lavender Starflower is a versatile and attractive evergreen shrub prized for its long season of delicate, star-shaped flowers and ornamental berries. From late spring through summer, it produces a profusion of lovely lavender to mauve-pink blossoms with a central cluster of yellow stamens. These are followed by unique, four-lobed berries that ripen from green to an attractive glossy brown or purple. With a dense, rounded habit and moderate growth rate, it serves as an excellent screen, hedge, or specimen plant, offering multiple seasons of interest with minimal care.
