Rugged and ripper, little micromyrtus deserves to be better known in our gardens. Give it pride of place in your rockery, native border, or flower bed and it will bloom white and pink right through spring, with very little effort from you.

it puts up with drought, frost, and poor soils; but with some TLC and regular watering it's a beaut - and first class at keeping weeds down and little birds safe and sheltered.
