Learn About Your New Agonis flexuosa
The Willow Myrtle is a low-maintenance, drought-hardy Australian native, valued for its weeping form, aromatic foliage, and resilience in tough environments. Ideal for streetscapes, residential gardens, parks, and large-scale landscapes, this evergreen tree thrives in coastal conditions, high winds, poor soils, and extended dry periods, making it a top choice for urban and coastal planting.
Its narrow, lance-shaped leaves are dark green with a silvery underside, releasing a distinct peppermint scent when crushed, adding sensory appeal to any space. In spring and early summer, the tree produces clusters of small white flowers, attracting pollinators and beneficial insects, further enhancing its ecological value. With a graceful, cascading growth habit, the Willow Myrtle provides shade, structure, and movement, making it an exceptional feature tree for low-maintenance and water-wise gardens.
