Agonis flexuosa 'Burgundy' – Burgundy Willow Myrtle is a medium-sized, evergreen Australian native with weeping branches and deep burgundy, lance-shaped foliage that releases a subtle aroma when crushed. Its rich leaf colour creates bold contrast in green landscapes, while white spring flowers add soft seasonal detail.

They look excellent as informal screens, feature trees, or avenue plantings where structure and year-round colour are needed. The graceful form and adaptable size suit residential gardens, streetscapes, and larger open landscapes.

Tolerant of wind and moderate drought once established, it performs best in full sun to part shade with minimal maintenance, offering both ornamental impact and ecological value.
