Incredibly popular amongst florists, Eucalyptus pulverulenta ‘Baby Blue’ (Florist Silver Dollar) is a small evergreen tree or sprawling shrub of open, spreading habit adorned with a ravishing foliage of blue-gray rounded leaves. Unlike many Eucalypti, it retains its juvenile rounded foliage into maturity. Highly scented, the leaves and stems are covered in a white waxy powder making them last a long time in a vase. In the fall and spring, abundant clusters of creamy-white flowers are borne amongst the foliage. Versatile, this Eucalyptus features a very interesting architecture and makes a lovely specimen tree for the smaller garden. Excellent for flower arrangements.
