A beautifully characterful eucalyptus trained into a charming standard form, showing off its distinctive silver-blue, coin-shaped juvenile foliage on gracefully twisted stems. The aromatic leaves release a refreshing, crisp scent when brushed, making it a sensory delight in any garden or courtyard. Grown as a standard, it brings height, movement, and year-round Mediterranean flair to pots, patios, and borders alike.
Care
Thrives in full sun in a sheltered spot. Water regularly when newly planted, then moderately once established. Hard prune or coppice annually in spring to maintain the standard shape and encourage fresh juvenile foliage. Well-drained soil is essential — avoid waterlogging. Can be kept in a large container for patio use.
