Thompson and Morgan Eucalyptus Gunnii Azura Plant Pot 9cm 2 Pack

Eucalyptus trees make a stunning addition to any garden. Unlike more vigorous varieties, Eucalyptus gunnii ‘Azura’ is compact and bushy, making it ideal for smaller gardens. Throughout the year, you’ll enjoy its evergreen, silvery-blue foliage, which reflects and glimmers in the light, adding interest to your borders. This tree is exceptionally hardy, able to withstand temperatures as low as -20°C (-4°F), and it pairs well with other shrubs or perennials. The long stems and attractive leaves are popular among florists, making it easy to bring a touch of nature indoors with a beautiful vase display. When planting eucalyptus trees, choose any fertile, non-alkaline, free-draining soil that retains moisture. Select a location that gets full sun and has some shelter from cold winds. Be sure to water and fertilize the trees regularly until they are fully established. Once established, eucalyptus trees are relatively drought-tolerant and require less maintenance. If you don't intend to grow it as a specimen tree, regular pruning is necessary in early spring to control its vigorous growth. Cut back all stems to three buds above soil level or a permanent low structure. Please note that the images provided are for guidance on the expected results of mature plants. Results may vary due to different growing conditions. Additionally, images may serve as illustrations of stock availability but can change seasonally, such as when deciduous plants lose their leaves in colder months.
