Myrtus communis or the common myrtle is a lovely evergreen garden plant with white flowers in summer and dark purple edible berries in winter.

Greek mythology was the first to associate the myrtle flower with Venus and romantic love but across the centuries it has been a traditional flower in bridal bouquets and flower crowns. In fact the late Queen Elizabeth carried myrtle in her bridal bouquet and it was used in her funeral flowers.

Great gifts for weddings, civil partnerships or to celebrate an anniversary, they are such easy going plants they are great way to send a token of love at any time of year.

Plant them in a sheltered spot in the garden and enjoy the fragrant foliage all year round. The berries are not normally eaten raw but can be made into interesting jams and even liqueur!

Currently looking nice and bushy with plenty of new growth as pictured, we expect these fragrant bushes to start to flower in the Spring.
