This superb Eucalyptus has been skilfully fashioned into a standard tree by expert nurserymen to give a superb plant to grace a sunny border or large patio pot. Looking spectacular all year round with its unusual foliage colour, Eucalyptus us arguably at its best in spring and summer when new growth is appearing. The leaves emerge in a light grey-green colour before changing to become more blue with a waxy patina, and with naturally peeling grey bark, nothing else looks quite like it! Famous for its peppermint-like fragrance, the aromatic foliage gives off its familiar, refreshing scent when bruised and makes a fantastic, long lasting addition to cut flower arrangements where the unique colour brings an exotic touch. Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure that this is a proven garden performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. You can therefore plant this in the garden with confidence, for stunning displays for many years to come. Growing best in full sun or partial shade, Eucalyptus is extremely hardy and undemanding to care for, requiring nothing more than pruning in early spring to maintain its bushy shape, and benefitting from being cut back hard every few years. Supplied as an established plant in a 2L pot, approx 60-80cm tall. Ready to plant.
