Learn About Your New Agonis flexuosa - Willow Myrtle (Peppermint Tree)
Agonis flexuosa, also known as Willow Myrtle or Peppermint Tree, is a weeping, evergreen Australian native widely used in coastal, residential, and public landscapes. Known for its aromatic foliage, twisting trunk, and pendulous branches, this species offers strong landscape structure and practical environmental tolerance.
It grows to 8–15 metres in height with a 4–8 metre spread, forming a dense canopy suited to shade, screening, and specimen planting. Its narrow green leaves release a distinct peppermint scent when crushed. White flowers appear from spring into early summer, attracting native birds and pollinators.
Agonis flexuosa is highly suited to coastal conditions, tolerating salt-laden winds, sandy soils, and seasonal drought. It grows best in full sun, is light frost tolerant, and requires minimal maintenance once established. Suitable for native gardens, windbreaks, streetscapes, and open spaces.
