Eucalyptus (Mixed Varieties)

P15 Pot

Plant Highlights: Mixed selection of evergreen eucalyptus • Attractive aromatic foliage • Fast-growing architectural trees • Excellent for feature planting and floral arrangements

Overview

This mixed selection of Eucalyptus offers a range of evergreen varieties chosen for their distinctive foliage, attractive bark and architectural character. As this is a mixed selection, leaf shape, colour, bark characteristics and eventual size will vary depending on the variety supplied.

Young eucalyptus foliage is often especially decorative and is widely used in fresh and dried floral arrangements. In the garden, these versatile evergreen trees provide year-round structure and can be grown as specimen trees or maintained by regular pruning to encourage colourful juvenile foliage.

Plant Details

Growing Guide

Position

Plant in a sunny, open position with well-drained soil. Choose a site with sufficient space for the selected variety, or prune regularly if growing primarily for decorative juvenile foliage.

Watering

Water regularly during the establishment period. Once established, eucalyptus generally requires watering only during prolonged dry spells.

Soil

Grow in fertile, well-drained soil. Avoid sites that remain waterlogged, particularly during winter.

Pruning

Prune in late winter or early spring if required to maintain size or encourage fresh juvenile foliage. Remove any dead, damaged or crossing branches as needed.

Perfect For

• Specimen planting
• Contemporary gardens
• Larger borders
• Floral foliage for cutting
• Evergreen screening, depending on the variety

Wildlife

When mature plants flower, the nectar-rich blooms can provide a valuable food source for bees and other pollinating insects. Evergreen foliage also offers year-round shelter for garden wildlife.
