Baby Blue Eucalyptus 200MM

Eucalyptus pulverulenta 'Baby Blue'

I am Baby Blue Eucalyptus. My family originated from Southern NSW.

Habit Shrub - Interesting foliage
Plant family Myrtaceae
I am a silver-blue foliaged native gum and retain my attractive juvenile round leaves in pairs throughout my life. My compact size is ideal for suburban gardens. I can be maintained at 1 metre and am popular as a low hedge. Florists use me widely in flower arrangements. Unpruned I am a shapely small tree with an upright habit. I produce masses of fluffy white flowers throughout winter and the cooler months. Hardy I am suited to exposed locations and for use as a windbreak.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
I am a dwarf Eucalyptus and trim well making me suited to hedging
I have stunning blue foliage which is popular in floral arrangements
I produce a profusion of fluffy white flowers throughout the colder months
