Evergreen beauty with year-round interest and an encapsulating aroma
Fall for the intensely fragrant foliage of this recent addition to the world of Eucalyptus, coated in evergreen colour regardless of the season.
Eucalyptus are ever-popular trees in British gardens, thanks to their aromatic leaves that last for years and showy springtime flowers.
‘Cinerea’ stands out with rounded foliage that shimmers in a silvery shade of green, almost blue, forming a dense canopy with ease. The bark of the tree boasts fascinating vertical detail and is striking reddish-brown in colour.
Both the wood of the plant and the decorative leaves share the instantly recognisable fragrance of eucalyptus oil, making this variety a darling introduction to patio pots or borders – just wherever you can best enjoy the smell emitted!
Once matured, late spring brings a scattering of white and waxy flowers - beautifully ornamental.
Very hardy and thrives best in full sun, while the fresh fragrance lends this long-lasting plant to cut foliage use in bouquets and formal floral arrangements inside the home.
Supplied as an established plant in a 24cm pot, approximately 60-80cm tall, ready to plant.
Leave plants to establish for a couple of years before starting hard pruning.
