This upright evergreen shrub is called Myrtus communis ‘Compacta’. Commonly known as Dwarf Myrtle, this shrub welcomes delicate white blooms during the spring season that are mildly scented. Its blooms are accompanied by ovate green leaves that grow upright that when crushed offer a sweet aroma. Compact in size, this variety reaches a mature landscape size of 3′ tall x 3′ wide and grows at a slower rate. Makes a low maintenance hedge of dense evergreen.
