Design with this plant

Overview

The Peppermint Tree (Agonis flexuosa) is a graceful Australian native, admired for its weeping habit and peppermint-scented foliage. Growing to 25-35 feet tall with a 15-25-foot spread, this evergreen presents willow-like leaves and small, white spring flowers. Its hardiness, versatility, and low maintenance make it an ideal specimen or screening tree for varied landscapes. Plant in well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. Hardy in USDA zones 9-11.
