Dwarf Wax Myrtle

Myrica pusilla

The Dwarf Wax Myrtle is a versatile shrub that offers a big visual impact in a modest size.

The slender, aromatic leaves release a fresh, clean scent when crushed, making this plant as pleasing to the senses as it is to the eye. Perfect for borders, hedges, or foundation plantings, its manageable size provides structure and interest without overwhelming the landscape.
