Myrtle (Myrtus communis) is a plant from the myrtle family (Myrtaceae). It is native to the Mediterranean and is distributed in regions such as the Eastern Mediterranean, North Africa and parts of Western Asia.

Myrtle is an evergreen shrub or small tree that usually reaches 1 to 5 meters in height. It has a compact, bushy growth habit with dense branches and small, narrow leaves.

Leaves:

The leaves of myrtle are small, oval to lanceolate and have a leathery texture. They are dark green and shiny. The leaves contain essential oils that release a pleasant scent when crushed.

Blossom:

Myrtle produces small, white flowers with many stamens that appear in dense clusters at the ends of the branches. The flowers are fragrant and attract bees and other pollinators.

Myrtle prefers sunny to partially shaded locations with well-drained soil. It thrives best in moderately moist, well-drained soil. Myrtle is relatively hardy and can tolerate drier conditions.
