Bayside Bonito wax myrtle is a remarkably tough evergreen, capable of thriving in a wide range of conditions. Its glossy, wax-coated foliage is consistently attractive and fragrant, while the spring flowers, though subtle and green, add a delicate scent. With its large, dense form, this versatile shrub works beautifully as a privacy hedge, specimen, or filler for challenging landscapes. A reliable performer, Bayside Bonito brings structure, beauty, and resilience to any space.
