Elegant Eucalyptus cinerea — Silver Dollar Foliage for Year-Round Interest

Bring home the iconic, silvery-blue charm of Eucalyptus cinerea, a versatile evergreen prized for its aromatic, round "silver dollar" leaves. Whether used as a striking specimen tree, in containers on a sunny patio, or as fresh and dried foliage in bouquets and arrangements, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus lends a modern, sculptural element to any landscape or floral design.

How to Plant Eucalyptus cinerea:

• Planting Time: Early spring or autumn (when temperatures are mild)

• Position: Full sun (minimum 6 hours of direct light daily)

• Soil: Well-draining, sandy or loamy soil; slightly acidic to neutral pH

• Spacing: 2—4 m apart (mature canopy spreads 3—5 m wide)

• Watering: Establishing plants: water deeply once a week; mature trees drought-tolerant—supplement only in prolonged dry spells

• Feeding: Light application of a slow-release, low-phosphorus native-tree fertilizer in spring

Where to Plant:

• As a focal point or specimen in mixed borders

• In large containers or patio planters—creates height and texture

• Windbreaks or privacy hedges (pruned to shape)

• Cut-foliage gardens—easy harvest for fresh or dried arrangements

• Mediterranean or cottage-style landscapes for drought-tolerant appeal
