This looks more like dwarf myrtle. Myrtus Communis "compacta". The leaves look smaller and the shoots are different. My leaves are up to 2 inches long. How are the winters there? This plant can take some pretty cold weather. Down to the high twenties F. It will never be a strong grower in doors. This plant is native to the mediterranian and prefers the outdoors to thrive.

Wish you luck, Al
