Myrthus tarentina
Tarentum myrtle
More compact than the common myrtle, with smaller leaves densely set on the shoots and cream flowers shaded with pink. The tight habit takes clipping into low hedging or balls. Sun, heat and free-draining soil suit it; keep the root dry in winter.

About sizes
CLT is a container volume in litres, VRL the same in a decorative red container. M is a field-grown plant lifted with its root ball, MGR the same grown in isolation and wire-balled. RN is bare root, available in the dormant season. T is a full standard and POT a planter. Heights are given as a range in centimetres; trunk girth is the circumference measured at one metre. A larger container is not always dearer: a trained or grafted form of the same volume costs more than a bush, and the form is named on the row.
