Pepino

Pepino (Philesia) - P. buxifolia is an exquisite dwarf shrub, with large carmine-red Lapageria-like bells (2 inches long) nestling among and suffusing with their rich color the sombre evergreen foliage. It is a precious shrub for the cooler parts of the rock garden and succeeds admirably in the more favourable coast gardens, and in moist peat or turfy loam. At Abbotsford it is in specimen form 2 feet high and 6 feet across, and flowers profusely all the summer. May be increased by suckers from the base, but in a plant of such slow growth these should only be removed from strong and well-established roots. S. America.
