Flat Pot Ø 50 cm

Ideal for hedges, borders and green roofs

The Myrsine africana, commonly known as "African myrtle", is a small evergreen shrub native to the tropical and subtropical regions of Africa. Elegant and hardy, this plant is appreciated for its dense and glossy foliage, as well as its compact habit, which makes it ideal for borders, formal hedges, or Mediterranean gardens. Thanks to its versatility, Myrsine africana is an excellent choice for both small gardens and large green spaces.

  • Habit and height: compact shrub, 1–2 metres tall, with a dense, tidy crown.
  • Foliage: evergreen, with small, oval, glossy dark green leaves and slightly wavy margins.
  • Flowers: in spring and summer, small, inconspicuous white or cream flowers.
  • Fruit: round, glossy berries, dark red or black when ripe.
  • Hardiness: hardy, tolerates variable climates and periods of drought.
  • Ideal for: borders, formal hedges, focal points and small gardens.
  • Soil: various types, provided they are well-drained.
  • Exposure: sun or partial shade.
  • Watering: regular during the first few months, then it tolerates drought well.
  • Pruning: minimal, at the end of winter, to maintain a compact shape.

Pair with Buxus sempervirens and Santolina chamaecyparissus for a formal effect, or with Lavandula angustifolia and Gaura lindheimeri for a softer, airier contrast.

FLAT POT SIZE Ø 50 CM

Instant effect: a finished garden from day one

Flatpots are well-established plants, grown in our nursery in a shallow, wide pot measuring Ø 50 cm. They arrive with a full crown and a wide root ball, with roots that spread outwards instead of circling.

The result is an instant impact: as soon as they are planted, hedges, borders and flowerbeds already have the appearance of a mature garden. You don't have to wait years for the plants to grow and, thanks to the wide and shallow root ball, they establish quickly: they are also ideal for green roofs and shallow soils.

They are the right choice for designers, landscapers and companies that need to deliver a finished project, and for anyone who wants to transform their garden in a single season.
