Agonis flexuosa is a fast-growing, evergreen, tree known for its weeping, pendulous, or spreading habit and peppermint-scented leaves. It produces small white flowers with pink bases primarily in late spring/early summer. Used as a lawn tree, screen, hedge, windbreak, or specimen tree. It is very salt-tolerant and excellent for seacoast plantings. Best in full sun to light shade. Prefers well-drained, sandy soils but adapts to clay, loam, and alkaline soils. Moderately drought tolerant once established. Decurrent habit. Monoecious. Fire-resistant, will resprout. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Cold hardy to 28°F.
