Agonis flexuosa After Dark

An Australian native, Agonis flexuosa After Dark is a variety of the West Australian willow myrtle. This particular variety produces spectacularly lush foliage shaded a deep burgundy, changing with the season with flushes of bright claret and purple foliage – deepening to dark burgundy in winter. During late spring, it produces clusters of petite white flowers that peek through the dark foliage. After Dark can be used for screening, trimmed as a hedge, or as a feature tree. It has a fibrous root system so it makes a good tub or container plant.
