(Southern Wax Myrtle) Add a touch of coastal charm to your landscape with Bayside Bonito, a hardy, easy-care shrub that combines beauty with resilience. This improved southern bayberry (Myrica cerifera) was selected for its refined shape, glossy foliage, and excellent adaptability to challenging growing conditions. Its dense, upright habit and finely textured, deep green leaves make it a perfect choice for hedges, privacy screens, or naturalized plantings.
Hardy in USDA Zones 711, this evergreen shrub typically grows 12 feet tall and 8 feet wide, providing year-round structure and color. The aromatic foliage releases a pleasant, spicy scent when brushed or crushed, and in early spring, small fragrant green flowers appear and attract pollinators.
Bayside Bonito thrives in full sun to part sun and is known for its tolerance of salt, drought, heat, and poor soils, making it a standout for coastal areas or low-maintenance landscapes. Once established, it needs minimal care and occasional pruning to maintain shape.
With its polished look and natural toughness, Myrica Bayside Bonito is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking both beauty and durability in a landscape shrub. A Proven Winners® Color Choice Shrub!
