Juvenile foliage of Australian eucalyptus trees, grown for their round silver-blue scented leaves popular in cut and dried flower arrangements.
Description
Although eucalyptus eventually grows into a large tree, the juvenile silver-dollar form is often kept as a shrub or annual for its rounded grey-blue leaves with a strong menthol scent.
Cultivation
It grows fast in full sun and well-drained soil. Hard pruning, often called coppicing or stooling, keeps it bushy and producing juvenile foliage for cut stems.
Uses
Silver dollar eucalyptus is one of the most popular cut greens in modern bouquets. Its oil is used in cold remedies, soaps, and household cleaners.
