Myrtus Communis

Description

Myrtus communis is an attractive medium-sized evergreen shrub with small ovate green leaves that give off a pleasant aroma. In early summer, this bushy upright shrub begins to produce an abundance of small white flowers, the flower heads are around 2cm in width and provide a delightful contrast with the deep green leaves. In Autumn, the flowers are followed by purplish black berries that provide additional colour late in the year.

A hardy variety, it is suited to all soil types so long as it is well-drained, it prefers full sunlight so it is ideal for a nice open space in the garden.
