Its compact, rounded form, combined with dense, silvery foliage, gives the garden an elegant, luminous appearance. The leaves are leathery and oval, with a glossy dark green upper surface and a silvery underside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn late spring and early summer (from May to June), it produces spectacular white-pink flowers with long coral-red stamens, which not only add colour to the garden but also attract bees and other pollinators. The fruit ripens in autumn: small and oval, with green skin and sweet, fragrant flesh that tastes like a blend of pineapple and strawberry. The fruit is packed with beneficial properties and is rich in vitamins, fibre, and antioxidants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePLANTING AND MAINTENANCE OF ACCA SELLOWIANA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcca sellowiana\u003c\/strong\u003e adapts to a wide range of soils, provided they are well-drained, but prefers sandy or slightly acidic soils. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull sun is ideal to ensure abundant flowers and fruit, but it also tolerates partial shade. During the first few months after planting, regular watering is important to help it establish. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and requires little water. Maintenance is minimal: light pruning in late winter helps maintain its compact shape and stimulate growth. Thanks to its cold hardiness (down to -10°C), it is suitable for temperate and Mediterranean climates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eFlat Pot\u003c\/em\u003e Ø50 cm size is an ideal choice for gardens and green roofs, providing an immediate effect thanks to its compact, ready-made appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePAIRING RECOMMENDATIONS \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcca sellowiana\u003c\/strong\u003e pairs perfectly with Mediterranean and drought-tolerant shrubs to create elegant, hardy gardens.
