Calytrix Tetragona. Common Fringe Myrtle.
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 appearin 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.
This marvellous plant was used as an anti septic in the old days.
