AGONIS flexuosa 25g
Peppermint Willow
Family: Myrtaceae
Characteristics: Tree to 15 metre
Seed per packet: Approx 200
Seed per gram: Approx. 1800
Typically, a tree with graceful, weeping foliage reaches 15 metres but is often smaller in cultivation. It has fibrous bark and lance-shaped leaves. The flowers consist of 5 white petals massed along the branches in spring and early summer. Despite its western origins, it is popular in cultivation and hardy in sub-tropical and temperate areas. Adaptable to most soil and is frost and drought-tolerant. Grows particularly well in sandy soils along the coast.
Occurs naturally in the Esperance Plains, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest, Swan Coastal Plains and Warren in the south-west region of Western Australia.
Generally, it is best sown in spring or autumn, avoiding the coldest and hottest months. The optimum germination temperature for germination is around 18-22°C
Sow the seed on the surface of a porous seed-raising mix and sprinkle a very light covering of the seed-raising mix over the seed. Do not bury the seed deeply.
Seeds generally sprout well when sowed in seed-raising mixes; however, the seedlings may be susceptible to a disease called "damping off". Keeping the seeds moist but not overwatered is recommended to reduce the risk. The germination process should take around 14 to 30 days, depending on the plant species.
*Please note:
- Please do not be too hasty to discard seeds that do not germinate; seeds will often lay dormant until the conditions are similar to their natural germination requirements.
- As with all seeds, they must have adequate water to keep them moist but not too wet.
- These growth notes are provided as guidance only and do not guarantee successful germination.
