Myrtus communis - RHN24 - 7.5Litre

This Myrtle is a delightful shrub with aromatic deep green evergreen leaves and pearly white flowers cover this type of Myrtle in mid summer.  Myrtle has carried great superstition around for weddings, love and fertility in particular. Initially the Romans used it for wedding ceremonies as they believed it signified love, it also became popular in 19th century Germany where young girls would dance around the bride and at the end of this dance a wreath made of Myrtle would be placed upon a girls head to signify who would marry next.  In English folk-law a brides flowers should have a sprig of Myrtle for luck, love and fertility, enhanced by the royal family who have a Myrtle on the Isle of White which has great family significance for them. Even Hannah and Mike dressed the entrance to the church with Myrtle cut from Hannah's parents garden where it still grows today.  There is heaps more we could say about this plant, so Hannah is writing a little blog about it which will be published soon!  Leaf colour: Green.
