A striking evergreen tree with round, silvery-blue leaves that shimmer in Cape Town’s sunlight. While it produces clusters of creamy-white flowers in summer, its foliage is the real star, widely used in floral arrangements and garden design. Perfect for screening, windbreaks, or as a dramatic ornamental specimen. Thrives in full sun and adapts well to Cape Town’s dry summers.
Plant in well-drained soil in full sun. Water regularly during establishment, then reduce as the tree becomes drought-tolerant. Prune lightly to shape or harvest foliage for arrangements. Avoid planting too close to structures, as roots can spread. Mulch around the base to retain soil moisture during hot summers.
The Penny Gum’s distinctive round leaves are often called “silver dollars” and are prized by florists worldwide for their unique color and texture.
