What Makes Baby Blue Eucalyptus Special?

Eucalyptus 'Baby Blue', also known as Silver Gum, is renowned for its ornamental blue-grey leaves, which retain their colour year-round.

With a compact growth habit compared to most eucalyptus, Baby Blue is suitable for smaller gardens or as a striking feature in pots and containers. Its easy-care nature and resilience to drought make it a favourite within the Eucalyptus genus for NZ gardeners.
