Product Description

Myrtus communis or True or Greek Myrtle is an evergreen shrub or small tree with dense foliage. The 2-inch lanceolate leaves are strongly scented when crushed. Myrtles have been cultivated for centuries and their native habitat is unknown. They are hardy to 28 degrees F. In cooler regions they make an excellent patio or house plant. They can also be trained as a bonsai! Blooming Time: Summer. The one inch white flowers are sweetly scented. Myrtus communis do best in light shade to full sun. The plant is highly drought tolerant.

    Myrtle herb plant

    Posted by MaryCatherine Rothwell on Sep 30th 2025

    I have to rave about this plant. I have done mail order before for plants and I have received many wonderful plants, however, this one has been the best so far for its appearance upon arrival. My plant looks better than the one pictured on this website. Thank you so much for such a beautiful plant. I look forward to enjoying its many benefits.
