A vigorous evergreen Myrtus with reddish stems and glossy, fragrant lance-shaped leaves. In summer white flowers with prominent stamens appear, which are followed by small bluish fruits that persist through winter. It tolerates long periods of drought and withstands the saltiness typical of the sea winds of coastal locations.
