Wax Myrtle (Morella cerifera) is a versatile, evergreen native shrub that brings natural beauty and ecological benefits to any landscape. With its aromatic foliage and clusters of blue-gray berries, this North American native reaches 6-20 feet tall and adapts well to sandy, acidic soils. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, Wax Myrtle is drought-tolerant once established and provides a valuable food source for wildlife in the fall. Its ornamental foliage and fragrant leaves make it a perfect choice for hedges, erosion control, or as a standout garden feature.
