Twisted Myrtle

A striking and unique evergreen shrub, Myrtus communis 'Boetica,' commonly known as Twisted Myrtle, is prized for its ornamental, spiraling stems and dense, aromatic foliage. This slow-growing plant brings year-round interest to the landscape with its glossy, deep green leaves, fragrant white flowers, and small, purple-black berries.
