Myrtle, Variegated – Myrtus communis variegata is a particularly attractive myrtle. It has brightly variegated leaves marbled with rich cream and occasionally a hint of pink.
Fragrant leaves and small starry white flowers. Requires well drained soil in a very sheltered position, preferably against a south facing wall. The perfumery trade uses oil from Myrtles.
Add the leaves to pot-pourri or try tucking a few leaves into roast meats towards the end of cooking time. Use the fruits as a spice.
