Austromyrtus tenuifolia (Narrow-leaf Myrtle)

Austromyrtus tenuifolia (Narrow-leaf Myrtle) is an elegant Australian native shrub known for its fine, weeping foliage and delicate appearance. Its slender, pendulous branches are covered in narrow, bright green leaves that create a soft, graceful texture in the landscape. This compact shrub produces small, creamy-white flowers followed by attractive berries, adding to its ornamental appeal and making it a valuable habitat plant for native birds and insects.

Ideal for rockeries, borders, containers, and as a low hedge, the Narrow-leaf Myrtle thrives in well-drained soils and tolerates both full sun and partial shade. Its moderate growth rate and neat habit make it suitable for small gardens and urban landscapes. This low-maintenance shrub is particularly valued for its year-round interest and ability to add texture and movement to garden designs.
