Lemon-scented Myrtle / Lemon Darwinia

The Lemon-scented Myrtle is a beautiful, dense native shrub growing between 1 and 1.5 meters tall, prized for its exceptional sensory qualities. Its small, oval, blue-green leaves turn a stunning reddish-purple color in winter and release a powerful, refreshing citrus aroma when crushed. In winter and spring, it bears unusual clusters of pinecone-like red and yellow flowers that attract honeyeaters, making it perfect for a low fragrant hedge or a feature pot near paths.
