Myrtus TARENTINA

Providing year-round interest, the small, glossy green leaves release a pleasant fragrance whenever crushed or bruised. Each summer, an abundance of delicate, creamy-white, star-shaped flowers adorn the green backdrop. Slightly fragrant they attract bees and butterflies. These are followed by small, pinkish-white berries that add further decorative charm in autumn and can be used in culinary dishes. Drought-tolerant once established, it requires minimal maintenance, making it an excellent choice for Mediterranean or coastal gardens.
