Baby Blue Eucalyptus Seeds

Eucalyptus pulverulenta

Also called florist silver dollar, 'Baby Blue' is a florist's staple. Long stems with rounded leaves in shades of dusty green, sometimes with purple highlights are excellent for a bouquet filler, wreath base, and are very sturdy when dried. With heady, menthol-like fragrance, it is widely used in aromatherapy, potpourri, as a pest deterrent, and much more. Perennial in USDA zones 9–11; also grown as an annual. As an annual, plants reach about 24"–42", but it can become a 35'-tall tree over time where perennial. Drought tolerant once established, heat tolerant, and rarely bothered by pests. Deer resistant.

    Arrived quickly. Hope to grow this and turn it into a tree. I saw another local gardener in 9b had already successfully done so. Cant wait for an endless supply of eucalyptus for floral arrangements

    Growing eucalyptus from seeds

    I just planted the seeds this past week, so I will update you when they sprout and I transplant. I like the way you packaged the seeds...helps keep them fresher longer.

    I cant specify this specific plant’s results, but so far I’ve had fair germination rates (I am still learning, so I can’t say if the issues are seeds or gardener!)

    Things I like- seed packet has all the information you would want on it

    Things I’d change- I wish the top opened and resealed better on the packet.
