Myrtle Bush
Myrtus communis
Native to the Mediterranean, the gorgeous Myrtus communis plant is an aromatic evergreen shrub with pointed, glossy leaves. In the spring and summer it will produce sweet-scented, white flowers that create a wonderful aroma in your garden.
The Myrtle Bush looks beautiful as a sunny border or growing against a south or west facing wall. Alternatively, you can plant yours in a large pot to make it easier to move indoors during the winter. Keeping your plant away from below-freezing temperatures will help it thrive and reach its full potential.
Make sure your shrub has plenty of rich, well drained soil and is placed in a bright, sunny spot.
