Feijoa produces some of the most decorative flowers found on an edible landscape plant. Thick petals are generally white to pale pink on the outside and reveal rosy pink to reddish interiors, surrounding a dramatic cluster of long crimson or deep red stamens tipped with golden pollen.

The fruits remain green as they mature, ranging from gray-green and blue-green to deeper green depending on cultivar. Their shape can vary from rounded and egg-shaped to oval or elongated.

Feijoa's glossy green leaves with silvery undersides, colorful flowers, and unusual green fruits make it especially attractive for cottage-style hedges, mixed edible borders, backyard orchards, and informal landscape plantings.
