Description

Peppermint Willow (Agonis flexuosa) is a graceful evergreen tree admired for its flowing branches, aromatic foliage, and delicate white flowers. Long, narrow green leaves resemble willow foliage and release a refreshing peppermint scent when crushed. New growth may show subtle bronze tones, adding seasonal color to its soft, weeping canopy. Small white flowers appear from spring into early summer, attracting pollinators and creating a lovely contrast against the greenery. Native to Western Australia, this fast-growing tree thrives in sunny locations with well-drained soil and becomes drought-tolerant once established. Its airy silhouette makes it an attractive specimen, light privacy screen, or focal point for spacious gardens and coastal landscapes.

Faqs

Q: Why is it called Peppermint Willow?

A: Its narrow, willow-like leaves release a distinctive peppermint fragrance when crushed. It is not a true willow.

Q: Is Peppermint Willow drought-tolerant?

A: Yes. Once established, it has low to moderate water needs, although young trees require regular watering.

Q: How large does Peppermint Willow grow?

A: It can reach 25–40 feet tall and 15–25 feet wide, so it is best planted where its canopy has room to develop.
