Myrica cerifera: Also known as the Southern Wax Myrtle, these plants are very salt tolerant and are a good choice for an oceanside landscape. Wax Myrtles can also survive less than desirable soils. In the spring and also when bruised, it emits a nice fragrance (smells like a Bayberry Yankee Candle!).
