In the USA people have a plant called Wax Myrtle. Is that related to
(or completely different

They are different, in completely different Families.
Wax Myrtle, genus Myrica, Family Myricaceae
Common Myrtle, genus Myrtus, Family Myrtaceae

Common Myrtle is a commonly grown plant in California.

That I don't know. But I would think that you could find one of those
species
mentioned by told2b. Many native California plants are happy in the UK
(Fremontia, Ceanothus, CA Poppies) so maybe the Wax Myrtle is also.
Hope you can find one of them.
