Common Fringe Myrtle - Calytrix Tetragona

Indigenous to Australia this gorgeous evergreen shrub grows to a height of 1.5 m with long fine heather like leaves. The masses of little star shapes pink flowers appear in spring to make a striking plant.

We are blessed to have a large stand on the property which we harvest with tender loving care. The aromatic smell is like a cross between thyme and a sweet flower.
