Eucalyptus pulverulenta 'Baby Blue'
Baby Blue eucalyptus
Rounded, silver-blue leaves and aromatic stems make Baby Blue a favorite for cut foliage. Its relatively compact habit is useful in a large container, although it is still a woody tree rather than a small permanent houseplant. Pruning encourages fresh juvenile foliage.
