Myrica cerifera Wax Myrtle

Enhance your landscape with the resilience and timeless charm of the Wax Myrtle (Myrica cerifera), a versatile native evergreen shrub or small tree. Ideal for creating natural privacy screens, windbreaks, and hedges, this fast-growing plant is incredibly adaptable and low-maintenance. Its dense, olive-green foliage releases a pleasant, spicy fragrance when crushed, adding a sensory element to your garden. Female plants produce clusters of waxy, grayish-blue berries in fall and winter, which attract birds and can be used for making candles. The Wax Myrtle thrives in challenging urban and coastal environments, tolerating poor soil, drought, and salt spray.
