Lemon Myrtle

Lemon Myrtle (Backhousia citriodora) is one of Australia’s most iconic bush tucker plants, prized for its intensely aromatic lemon-scented leaves. The foliage is used fresh or dried in teas, desserts, marinades, and savoury dishes.

This plant prefers a warm, sunny to partly shaded position with well-drained soil. Regular watering during establishment and light pruning help maintain a dense, healthy shrub. Lemon Myrtle also performs well in large pots.

A beautiful and fragrant addition to any bush tucker or native garden.
