10 Seeds Eucalyptus polyanthemos Silver Dollar Gum Tree Ornamental Evergreen

Eucalyptus polyanthemos, commonly known as Silver Dollar Gum, is an evergreen tree admired for its rounded, silver-blue juvenile foliage and graceful, upright habit. Native to southeastern Australia, it brings a soft, cool-toned texture to gardens and landscapes and works equally well as a container specimen in cooler climates.

The rounded juvenile leaves are popular in cut foliage arrangements and floral work, while the tree's peeling bark and slender form add year-round structure to the landscape. It grows quickly in warm conditions and prefers an open, sunny position with well-drained soil.
