Myrtle is an upscale, highly versatile structural greenery loaded with historical elegance and a rich design legacy. Characterized by its strong, woody stems densely lined with small, pointed, glossy leaves, Myrtle is favored by event designers for adding vertical line-work and clean structure to premium arrangements. Emitting a wonderfully clean, subtle sweet-herbal or lemony scent when processed, it is a timeless alternative to standard greens for sophisticated wedding work, heavy garlands, and architectural corporate vases.

Florist Care & Handling
Myrtle is structurally hardy but its woody stems must be properly opened to ensure consistent hydration. Process upon arrival by stripping away any lower foliage that would rest beneath the water line to prevent decay. Using heavy-duty commercial shears or branch loppers, apply a clean, sharp 45-degree angle cut to the woody base. Place immediately into deep, fresh water treated with professional foliage or flower preservative. Store in a cool holding room or floral chiller to preserve the gloss and crisp fragrance of the leaves.
