Cinnamon Myrtle

Flowers consistently, smells beautiful and relatively fast growing. Hoverflies and native bees love it.

This is a stunning bush. Beautiful aromatic foliage, with amazing cream coloured flowers in spring through summer, followed by loads of new growth. I will never need to buy cinnamon again!
