Description
Agonis flexuosa 'Burgundy', commonly referred to as the Western Australian Peppermint Tree or WA Peppermint Willow, is a captivating native tree known for its rich, burgundy-hued foliage that deepens in colour with exposure to full sun. This evergreen tree, which originates in Western Australia, reaches heights of 4 to 6 metres with a spread of 3 to 4 metres, making it an excellent option for adding height and structure to Perth gardens. It thrives in full sun and adapts well to well-draining soils, providing a resilient, low-maintenance choice for local landscapes.
During Late Spring (Kambarang), the Western Australian Peppermint Tree produces clusters of small, white flowers that add contrast against its dark foliage, bringing a subtle seasonal display. The aromatic leaves release a pleasant fragrance when crushed, adding a sensory element to garden spaces. Drought-tolerant once established, this perennial is well-suited to Perth’s climate and provides year-round foliage and structure.
