A local herb garden centre is closing and are selling plants off. I've
bought a Myrtle which I intend to grow in a container. Any advice please
on feeding watering, and is it frost hardy?
TIA


We had a 2 myrtles in Cork (Irish south coast) which we inherited when we
moved in and which were already small trees/big shrubs and were outdoors
althought the frosts were never very hard. It rarely went below 2-3celsius
below freezing but it certainly froze regularly in winter and there must
have been occasional harder frosts. My guess would be that it will do fine
outdoors as long as you give it some shelter from east winds. Feeding and
watering were not neccessary where we lived :-).
