![Myrtus communis 'Compacta Variegata' (1 qt) | Dwarf Variegated Myrtle (1 qt)](http://morningsunherbfarm.com/cdn/shop/products/image_80cb82e6-9813-452a-86a5-12e7765f5897_{width}x.jpg?v=1597013642)
Dwarf variegated myrtle only grows to 2 feet, with very small leaves, only 1 inch, and beautiful creamy white variegation edging a sage green center. Leaves are very close together - the plant is very compact, making it a great choice for topiary or bonsai. Shearing and pruning are fine for this plant - it can take lots of abuse and a small container. Evergreen, with small white blooms in the fall and small black berries. Grow in afternoon shade in hot locations, otherwise full sun in cooler locations.
