Myrtus, commonly known as myrtle, is a genus of flowering plants in the family Myrtaceae. Native to the Mediterranean region, these evergreen shrubs are renowned for their glossy leaves and fragrant white or pink flowers. In New Zealand, Myrtus plants are cherished for their versatility in various garden settings.
Myrtus communis
Myrtus communis, often referred to as the common myrtle, is one of the most popular varieties. This plant is known for its dense foliage and small, star-shaped flowers that bloom in summer. It can be used as a hedge, border plant, or even as a potted specimen.
Another favourite is Myrtus ugni, commonly known as Chilean guava. This variety is prized not only for its attractive appearance but also for its edible berries. The fruits are small but packed with flavor, making them a delightful addition to desserts and jams.

Proper care is essential to keep your Myrtus plants thriving. Regular watering, especially during dry spells, will keep the plants healthy.
