Calytrix tetragona 'Pink fringed myrtle' 140mm

Attractive and adaptable, evergreen shrub that produces masses of flowers in spring.

Tiny dark green leaves are crowded on the stems and have a spicy lemon fragrance when crushed. In spring, masses of flowers appear. Good specimen plant for decorative tubs or containers. 

Suited to average free draining soil in full sun or light dappled shade. Tolerant of frost, dry soils and protected seaside sites. 

Trim lightly after flowering to keep habit neat. Fertilize occasionally with low phosphorus, slow realise fertilizer. Mulch well to retain soil moisture and supress weeds. 

Perfect for coastal planting, informal hedging, in tubs and containers. 

Height 1 - 2.5 m
