Dwarf Willow Myrtle 180MM

Agonis flexuosa nana fine leaf form

I am Dwarf Willow Myrtle. My family originated from South western Australia.

Habit Shrub - Foliage colour

Plant family Myrtaceae

I am an Australian native plant with attractive dense weeping foliage. My new growth is red and adorned with small white flowers in summer. Particularly hardy and long lived with a naturally dense form, I am well suited to low hedges and general landscaping in hard to plant areas. I am a great choice for exposed locations, limey soils and coastal conditions.
