Our range of dwarf eucalyptus brings together small-growing gum trees (between 2 and 5 m tall), well-suited to small gardens. The smallest, Eucalyptus ‘Baby Blue’ (2 to 3 m), is a shrub with rounded, silvery-blue, fragrant leaves when crushed. ‘France Bleu® Rengun’ (2 to 4 m) is characterised by a narrower, fastigiate silhouette and decorative blue-grey foliage. Eucalyptus kybeanensis (3 to 5 m) is interesting for its multiple trunks, a multi-stemmed mallee-form, being very bushy and possessing a lovely density. Eucalyptus saxatilis (3 to 5 m), also bushy and quite hardy (-12°C), is suited to Mediterranean-inspired borders.
These eucalyptus are grown in full sun, in well-drained soil. The smallest can be grown in a large container. For success: plant in spring (or in early autumn in mild climates), water regularly for the first two years, and prune in spring (or in September) to limit their growth and encourage the appearance of bluish juvenile foliage.
