Myrtle Is a Great Topiary Plant.

Myrtle features glossy, evergreen leaves that look great year-round. It can be shaped into a variety of topiary forms and can handle pruning in both the spring and again around midsummer. The leaves emit a sweet, spicy citrus scent. Myrtle prefers full sun or partial shade when outdoors and needs plenty of light when grown indoors in a container. It is hardy in Zones 8 – 11.
