Agonis flexuosa

Peppermint Tree, Australian Willow Myrtle

These Australian evergreen trees like warm climates. They are covered in white blooms in summer. Train to espalier, trim to a large shrub or container plant, or use singly in lawns. Water container and outdoor plants moderately, less during winter months. Prune as needed.

The weeping branches have long, thin, leathery leaves that turn from bronze red to green when mature and produce a peppermint scent when crushed. Abundant white flowers start in late spring. Water moderately, but less in winter.
