Common Fringe Myrtle (Calytrix tetragona) 20 seeds
 
 
Calytrix tetragona is an easily grown and very hardy shrub for the small garden, usually reaching 1 m or more, although long-lived specimens grow taller.
 
The tiny leaves are slightly fleshy with a spicy perfume when bruised. The colour of a healthy shrub is bright green with yellow-green young tips.
 
 
For most of the year the appearance is neat but undistinguished until flowering in October. Flowers are white or pink, deeper in the pointed buds, clustered along the arching branches, sometimes massed and nearly hiding the leaves.


A garden position in sun or light shade is suitable, in well-drained lime free soil.
