Agonis flexuosa Nana

Common Name: Dwarf Willow Peppermint

Description: Agonis flexuosa 'Nana', commonly known as Dwarf Willow Peppermint, is a compact, evergreen shrub native to Western Australia. It features dense, fine-textured foliage with reddish new growth that matures to bright green, and emits a pleasant peppermint fragrance when crushed. In spring, small white flowers appear, adding to its ornamental appeal. This plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soils. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and requires minimal maintenance, making it an excellent choice for low hedges, screens, or as a feature plant in gardens and containers. Regular pruning can help maintain its compact form and encourage dense growth.
