Eugenia myrtifolia: characteristics and care
Eugenia myrtifolia, popularly known as eugenia, is a perennial shrub native to Australia that stands out for its dense and shiny foliage, dark green in color with coppery new shoots, which provides a very uniform and ornamental texture.
Its excellent response to pruning and its leaf density make it a popular choice for formal hedges and topiary in Mediterranean gardens.
It tolerates moderate drought well once established and adapts to various soil types, provided it has good drainage.
At Ornacom we cultivate each specimen directly, guaranteeing a balanced size and vigorous development from the first years of planting.
