Prunus lusitanica 'Myrtifolia'
Prunus lusitanica 'Myrtifolia' (also known as ‘Angustifolia’) is a refined, evergreen shrub with a naturally elegant, upright habit. Its narrow, glossy green leaves are carried on striking reddish-purple stems, creating year-round texture and contrast. In early summer, it produces masses of fragrant white flower spikes, followed by clusters of small, ornamental black berries in autumn that attract birds and wildlife.
Hardy and versatile, ‘Myrtifolia’ is excellent for hedging, screening, or adding evergreen structure to mixed borders. It thrives in full sun or partial shade and well-drained soil, requiring minimal maintenance once established. Its fine foliage, polished form, and wildlife-friendly features make it a superb choice for formal and naturalistic gardens alike.
