Myrtle Topiary (Myrtus communis)

Myrtle Topiary is an elegant evergreen plant with tiny, glossy green leaves trained into a neat, sculpted form. Its dense foliage and classic topiary shape bring a polished look to sunny indoor spaces, patios, entryways, and tabletops. Regular trimming helps maintain its shape while encouraging thick, bushy new growth.

It’s a beautiful living topiary that does best with plenty of bright light and consistent watering.
