A beautiful, fast-growing eucalyptus prized by florists for its cool, silvery-blue, fragrant foliage. Strong enough for windbreaks in large, dry gardens, and elegant enough for cut stems at home.
Silvery foliage, year-round interest — the famous “silver dollar” leaves used in bouquets and arrangements.
Quick cover & screening — vigorous growth (±1–1.5 m/year) with attractive grey-brown bark as it matures.
Tough once established — sun-loving, takes coastal wind, and becomes water-wise with deep, infrequent watering.
Mature size (unpruned): ±10–15 m high × 4–5 m wide; can be kept smaller by pruning for dense, multi-stem foliage. Spacing: 3–5 m for windbreaks.
Informal screens, windbreaks, coastal gardens, large water-wise landscapes, and cut-foliage harvesting from juvenile shoots.
Sun & soil: Full sun; well-drained soil. Mix planting hole 50:50 with compost; avoid waterlogging.
Watering: Keep evenly moist the first summer; then water deeply but less often to encourage deep roots.
Feeding: Light, balanced feed in spring; mulch to keep roots cool and conserve moisture.
Pruning: For bushy, floristry-grade stems, tip-prune in late spring and again early summer; avoid heavy autumn/winter pruning.
