Description
Eucalyptus cinerea, the Silver Dollar Gum, is the foliage every florist wants. Rounded, blue-grey leaves clasp straight stems and release a clean menthol scent when brushed. Grow it as a fast-filling garden tree in mild climates or keep it cut back as an annual foliage crop for bouquets, wreaths and dried arrangements.
