Eucalyptus pulverulenta 'Baby Blue'Silver-leaved mountain gum 'Baby Blue'

One of the most popular Eucalpytus, ‘Baby Blue’ offers dwarf proportions that make it perfectly manageable in small gardens or growing in a patio pot. Its multiple sprays of rounded, silver-blue foliage shimmer in the sunlight, creating fabulous colour, texture and structure. The leaves retain their superb colour even when mature and are intensely aromatic. This compact, multi-branched, evergreen tree provides interest throughout the year, with mature specimens producing small, feathery flowers from late winter to spring. Its contemporary looks work well on a modern patio in a restrained colour scheme, surrounded by contrasting foliage plants, but it also forms a great partner for a riotous display of hot-coloured tropical bedding. The fabulous foliage is prized by florists. Where space is at a premium, Eucalpytus, ‘Baby Blue’ can be easily managed with annual pruning in early spring. Height: 3-4m (10-13ft). Spread: 2.5m (8.2ft).
