This Mediterranean species has been cultivated in Europe since the late sixteenth century. Common Myrtle remains popular as a specimen shrub or informal hedge in Britain. In America during the early 1800s, noted gardener Jean Skipwith included Dwarf Myrtle among her houseplants at her southern Virginia estate, Prestwould. If growing as a houseplant, maintain a cool winter temperature.
