Austromyrtus dulcis ‘Blush’ – Midgen Berry

Austromyrtus dulcis ‘Blush’ is a compact selection of the Australian native Midgen Berry, valued for its attractive soft pink flowers, edible berries and naturally neat growth habit. This hardy evergreen shrub provides ornamental interest while also producing useful edible fruit, making it a versatile choice for native and productive gardens.

Soft pink flowers appear from late spring into summer, followed by edible fruits that develop through spring and summer. Once established, ‘Blush’ requires little maintenance and has a low watering requirement, making it well suited to low-maintenance landscapes.

It adapts to most well-drained soil types and performs well in full sun to part shade. Regular light pruning can be used to maintain a low, compact form, making it particularly suitable for hedges, borders and smaller garden spaces.
