Description
Eucalyptus pulverulenta ‘Baby Blue’ is a very popular, small, evergreen powdered gum also known as florist silver dollar. It grows as a spreading shrub or small tree to 12-30 feet tall and 12-20 feet wide but can be pruned to keep smaller in the garden, as a container specimen, or as a houseplant. The small, rounded, opposite, fragrant, blue-grey leaves are highly sought after in the florist industry for the cut branches which are covered in a white waxy powder. In spring and fall, clusters of creamy-white flowers emerge amongst the foliage. Deer resistant. Hardy in coastal BC in protected, sunny spots with excellent drainage.
