Melastoma affine (Blue Tongue) is a small native Australian shrub growing up to 1.5meters. Known for its striking purple flowers and distinctive edible blue-black berries, which stain the tongue bright blue. Traditionally used as bush tucker, the fruit is mildly sweet and can be eaten fresh. It also makes a beautiful ornamental feature in gardens, with lush foliage and vibrant blooms that attract pollinators. Ideal for subtropical and tropical landscapes.

Supplied in a 140mm pot.
