Baby Blue Bouquet Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus pulverulenta) displays silvery-blue leaves that delight both gardeners and florists. It typically reaches 24 to 36 inches tall, producing upright stems filled with aromatic foliage. The soft, powdery sheen on each leaf adds subtle texture to arrangements and landscape plantings. This variety offers a compact habit and a constant supply of fragrant, ornamental stems.

Its origins trace to Australia, where eucalyptus thrives in diverse habitats. Deer usually avoid its scented foliage, and the plant handles moderate drought once established. In warm regions, it remains evergreen, providing year-round interest. Try it in mass plantings, mix it into perennial borders, or keep it in containers for fresh clippings whenever needed.

Baby Blue Bouquet Eucalyptus Care

Plant it in full sun, and choose soil with sharp drainage to avoid root issues. Water consistently during the first growing season, then adjust based on natural rainfall and observed growth. A balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring helps maintain healthy foliage. Aim for a neutral to slightly acidic pH to support steady development.

Light pinching or thinning of young stems shapes the plant and encourages bushy growth. Cut it back when growth resumes in the spring to promote larger leaves. Trimming away older, woody stems can rejuvenate potted specimens, particularly in smaller spaces. In colder climates, bring container-grown plants indoors or provide insulation around the pots to protect roots from freezing.

Baby Blue Bouquet Eucalyptus Spacing

For rows or mass plantings, place each plant 12 to 18 inches apart to allow airflow. A single specimen in a mixed border may need 24 inches of open space on all sides to showcase its rounded form. A container with at least a 12-inch diameter accommodates a new plant and offers enough room for early root expansion. If you plan to grow it long-term or combine it with other plants, size up the pot as needed.
