Notes
Bracelet honey myrtle (Melaleuca armillaris) is an evergreen shrub for hedges and low maintenance gardens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It tolerates drought and salt, and birds visit it. The plant can bloom in any season.
Pairs well with Natchez crape myrtle, African daisy, and Lemon grass.
