Instructions
Top Tip
Prune Myrtus plants after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushy growth.
How to Water
Water regularly during the first growing season to establish roots. Once established, Myrtus is moderately drought-tolerant but benefits from deep watering during dry spells, especially in hot climates.
How to Plant
Plant Myrtus in well-draining soil with full sun or partial shade. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and slightly deeper. Place the plant, fill with soil, and press gently to remove air pockets. Water thoroughly after planting and mulch to retain moisture.
