Myrtles are grown in pots for greenhouse, window or room decorations, or in California and the South as outdoor ornamental shrubs. In pots, they make excellent lawn and terrace plants, being given protection in winter. They are easily cultivated and readily propagated from firm or partially ripened cuttings. They like an abundance of water in summer. | Myrtles are grown in pots for greenhouse, window or room decorations, or in California and the South as outdoor ornamental shrubs.
