Description
Lemon myrtle is native to central and southeastern Queensland in Australia and, botanically speaking, belongs to the myrtle family. Although it is classified as an herb, it is characterized by its tree-like growth habit. This gives your herb collection a very special, tree-like charm.
Origin:
Central and southeastern Queensland, Australia
Growing tips
When growing it, be sure to keep the soil moist at all times, as the lemon myrtle needs a moist environment. Since it naturally grows as a tree, you should give it enough space to develop right from the start.
