Lemon Myrtle is a sensational evergreen native with elegant branches of foliage and fragrant autumn flowers. It displays clusters of small, creamy white flowers that draw birds, butterflies and bees to the garden. The leaves have an amazingly intense citrus fragrance when crushed, and are used in teas, as herbs, in cuisine and in medicine. Plant this tree next to a lemon gum and you could spend all day in the garden crushing and sniffing. Ideal for hedging and edging, screening and native gardens.
