Evergreen Shrubs

Common Myrtle

Myrtus communis

الآس / الريحان

Native to Lebanon and woven through the region's history, with small aromatic leaves, white summer flowers, and blue-black berries. Clips beautifully and releases scent whenever brushed against.

Blooming season: Summer
Flower colour: White
How to care: Full sun to light shade in free-draining soil, including poor rocky and alkaline ground. Genuinely drought tolerant once established. Trim after flowering to maintain a hedge or a rounded shape, and it tolerates fairly hard cutting. Excellent in a container. The berries and leaves are both aromatic and traditionally used in cooking and distillation.
