Common Name: New Zealand Myrtle ‘Red Dragon’
Latin Name: Lophomyrtus × ralphii ‘Red Dragon’
Description: A striking evergreen shrub with small, crinkled leaves in deep burgundy-red tones, often marbled with hints of bronze and green. The foliage provides year-round colour and texture, while tiny, star-like white flowers may appear in summer, adding a delicate contrast.
Garden Impact: Ideal for adding bold colour and contrast to borders, containers, or contemporary planting schemes. Its compact, bushy habit makes it perfect as a feature plant or for mixing with lighter foliage to create depth and interest.
Light & Water Requirements: Prefers full sun to partial shade in well-drained soil; benefits from a sheltered position, especially in colder areas, and protection from harsh winds.
Size (Fully Grown): Approximately 1.5–2m tall and 1–1.5m wide, forming a dense, rounded shrub.
