Little Bull Wax Myrtle is a dense evergreen shrub with larger and darker aromatic olive green foliage. The flowers are inconspicuous but fragrant and the female flowers give way to clusters of blue-grey berries that persist into winter. Best in full sun and moist soils. Can be considered a fire hazard in some areas, as the aromatic compounds of the foliage and stems are flammable.
