Myrtus communis - True Myrtle

Market price from $6.45 to $9.70

Myrtus communis is an elegant evergreen shrub, affectionately known as True Myrtle. Offering dense coverage year-round, it showcases aromatic, glossy dark-green leaves sourced from its Mediterranean origins. The shrub further captivates with delicate, fragrant, star-shaped white flowers from mid-spring to early summer, providing a refreshing burst of color in any garden. True Myrtle exudes versatility as it gracefully grows to a moderate height of 2-3 meters and welcomes pruning into impeccable hedges or topiaries, fitting admirably into a variety of landscaping styles. This hardy shrub thrives in well-drained soil and is rather sun-loving, basking ideally in full sunlight to optimize its floral display. However, it's able to endure partial shade for those tricky spaces in your garden. Apart from its remarkable drought-resilience, the True Myrtle produces appealing purplish-black berries, amplifying its visual appeal. A combination of beauty and durability, True Myrtle is an inspiring property upgrade, bringing aesthetic allure and a delightful fragrance to your outdoor space.
