Mytilaria - PictureThis

Mytilaria

Mytilaria features distinct lance-shaped leaves that cluster predominantly at the ends of its branches, creating a dense, broom-like appearance. This evergreen shrub thrives in moist, well-drained soils often found in its native subtropical habitats. Its resilience to soggy conditions is notable, allowing it to flourish where other plants might falter. Small, inconspicuous flowers bloom in late spring, largely hidden beneath the lush green foliage.
