The fine-textured wispy foliage consists of bayberry-scented evergreen leaves that are dark green above and olive green beneath, giving a two-toned or glossy appearance which contrasts nicely with many other types of plants in the landscape. Very similar to \u003ci\u003eMyrica cerifera\u003c\/i\u003e, southern wax myrtle, it responds well to trimming for a more formal shape or hedge, or lower branches can be removed to form an attractive small tree. You might be happy to know the deer turn their nose up to Dwarf Wax Myrtle and it is highly tolerant to salt spray, heat, and humidity, making it a fine choice for coastal landscapes and gardens.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLandscape \/ Garden Uses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eGrowing in a rounded mound 3 to 5 feet tall and equally as wide depending on pruning, the Dwarf Wax Myrtle is an ideal for use as a specimen in smaller garden spaces or in groupings or as a natural or formal clipped hedge where space allows. Also excellent in home foundation plantings or on sunny or shady slopes for erosion control. A fine addition to bird gardens, native gardens, fragrance gardens, formal gardens, bog gardens and the Xeriscape (low water needs).\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrowing Preferences\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe Dwarf Wax Myrtle is very adaptive shrub that will grow in most any moist but well-drained to wet or dry soils in full sun or shade, though plants will be fuller with more sun. We suggest 4 or more hours of direct sunlight per day for best fullness.  easy to grow in full sun to part shade. When young it prefers a consistently moist soil, but established plants are exceptionally drought tolerant. Those living and gardening on or near the coast will be happy to know that this attractive evergreen plant is highly tolerant of salt spray. No pruning is required however plants respond well to it for hedges or a more formal shape.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHelpful Articles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eClick on the link below to find advice from our experts...\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow To Plant \u0026amp; Care For A Wax Myrtle Shrub Or Tree \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlant Long \u0026amp; Prosper!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMeet The Wilson Brothers \u0026amp; Staff \u0026gt;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eQuestions?\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003eContact Us!\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48144378626202,"sku":"D2LSC 565883882","price":48.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/3263\/3242\/files\/myrica-pusilla-dwarf-wax-myrtle-6.jpg?v=1779930221","url":"https:\/\/plant.hcgardenus.com\/products\/dwarf-wax-myrtle-myrica-pusilla-3-gallon-pot","provider":"Royal Horticultural Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
