Wax Myrtle - Live Plants - Myrica Cerifera Bayberry

Description: The glossy, olive-green, aromatic foliage is reminiscent of bayberry candles. Clusters of waxy, bluish gray berries persist through winter. Has attractive bark and tends to develop multiple stems. Excellent screen or specimen. Evergreen. Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Feed with a general purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in spring. For a tidy, neat appearance, shear annually to shape. If a partition or screen is your objective, then the Wax Myrtle performs flawlessly. Its dense foliage and quick-growing nature lends itself to being an excellent choice for shrubs. Plant them in a row to define your property line, or to accent your front patio. The Wax Myrtle's foliage and berries are pleasingly fragrant, making it a great addition to your outdoor living space. The fruit matures in the fall and remains throughout winter, attracting a multitude of birds. Plus, Myrtle is 'green' in more ways than one, as it returns nitrogen to the soil and organically repels insects. The easy-to-grow Wax Myrtle is deer resistant, heat and drought tolerant. Known for its adaptable nature, the Wax Myrtle will put up with moist or dry soil and even grows well in infertile soils. These plants are so trouble-free they practically take care of themselves.The glossy, olive-green, aromatic foliage is reminiscent of bayberry candles.
