Carissa Desert Star - Natal Plum

Carissa 'Desert Star'

Carissa 'Desert Star' is a tough, versatile shrub prized for its glossy dark green foliage with star-shaped white flowers and small edible red fruit.  This is a hardy Australian favourite gaining popularity in modern landscaping in Australia.  A great low maintenance option for low hedging and borders. 

Desert Star forms a dense, compact mound of glossy, dark green foliage that provides excellent year-round structure. It's pretty white, star-shaped flowers appear intermittently throughout the year, most prolifically in warmer months, followed by small red fruits that are both ornamental and edible - a lovely bonus for the garden.
