Agonis Afterdark 200MM

I am a striking small to medium tree - my narrow, weeping foliage shifting through the seasons from bright claret-purple in spring and summer, deepening to a rich dark burgundy through winter. In mid-spring my branch tips are festooned with small, tea-tree-like white flowers that contrast beautifully against my dark foliage and draw nectar-feeding birds into the garden. I make a striking feature tree in the garden, a specimen in a large tub on a patio or courtyard, and I am equally at home in coastal gardens. Once established I am easy-care, tolerating light frosts and strong winds. In clay soils give me good drainage and reliable water; in sandy soils enrich with compost to help hold moisture. Feed me twice a year with a native slow-release fertiliser and keep me well mulched for the best colour and growth.
