Myrtus ugni grows as a small evergreen shrub, a metre across and, unpruned, can reach a similar height. The leaves are small, waxy and deep green with occasional seasonal flushes of red-purple. With sun on your side, you'll have pale pink and white bell-shaped flowers hanging in profusion from late spring. Slowly through the summer the flowers turn to fruit that ripen into dark berries in autumn and into winter.
