Dwarf Wax Myrtle

Myrica pusilla

The Dwarf Wax Myrtle is a versatile shrub that offers a big visual impact in a modest size. Its dense, evergreen foliage adds color and texture year-round, while maintaining a tidy, compact shape of just 3 to 6 feet in height and width. 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.

  • Excellent for hedges or mass plantings

Hardy in USDA zones 7-10. Plant in full sun to part shade and well-drained soil. This hardy native is naturally no-fuss, drought tolerant, thriving in a wide range of soils - even poor or sandy ones.
