Cinnamon Myrtle (Backhousia myrtifolia)

Cinnamon Myrtle (Backhousia myrtifolia)

Cinnamon Myrtle (Backhousia myrtifolia)- also known as Grey Myrtle - is a versatile Australian native shrub prized for its dense, grey-green foliage and clusters of fragrant white flowers that bloom in spring and summer. Reaching 3–5 m in height, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil, making it ideal for use as a screen, hedge, or feature plant in native gardens. Beyond its ornamental appeal, Grey Myrtle is also valued for its edible leaves, which have a unique cinnamon-like flavor and are commonly used as a bush food spice in teas, desserts, and savory dishes. This hardy plant combines beauty, functionality, and culinary interest, making it a standout addition to any landscape.

Supplied in a 140mm pot.
