Grow Royal Myrtle in your garden - as featured in Kate Middleton’s wedding bouquet.

Leaves of this deligthful aromatic plant were in Queen Victoria’s wedding flowers and have featured in royal

bouquets ever since.

This is evergreen True Myrtle, with sweet-scented cupshaped 5-starred white flowers, carrying golden stamens in summer; followed by purple berries. Used as a spice and for pot pourri, Myrtle makes a prized essential oil. In Sardinia, a fragrant liquer is made from the berries and leaves.

In Greek mythology, Myrtle was sacred to the goddess Aphrodite. The Romans bathed with crowns of Myrtle. Now, you can trim your own Myrtle hedge or grow a delightful bush ( 70 x 40cm) to celebrate the 2011 Royal wedding. All parts of the plant are scented.
