Agonis flexuosa 'Burgundy', or Burgundy Willow Myrtle, is a popular Australian native small tree prized for its graceful weeping habit and striking deep burgundy foliage that contrasts beautifully with small white spring flowers, offering year-round colour and interest in gardens as a feature, screen, or windbreak, tolerating sun, coastal conditions, and well-drained soils once established.
