Key features

• Iconic foliage: small, round, silvery-blue leaves, like coins.
• Powerful fragrance: one of the most fragrant Eucalyptuses, ideal for perfuming a room or a bouquet.
• Compact habit: pyramidal shape, smaller size, well-suited for pot culture.
• Ideal for bouquets: magnificent and long-lasting in fresh or dried arrangements.
• Growing in Quebec: must be grown as an annual or in a pot to bring indoors for winter, as it is not hardy in our climate.

Growing tips

• Exposure: loves full sun (minimum 6 hours per day).
• Soil: requires very well-drained soil. Use a good quality potting mix for houseplants or containers.
• Watering: water when the soil surface is dry. Tolerates slight underwatering better than overwatering.
• Pot culture: highly recommended to easily bring it indoors before the first frosts.
• Overwintering: place in a very bright and cool room (ideally between 5°C and 15°C) during winter, reducing watering.

Important

• Not hardy in Quebec: this plant does not survive Quebec winters outdoors. It must absolutely be brought indoors or treated as an annual.
• Non-edible: like most ornamental eucalyptuses, it is not intended for consumption.
