Notes
'Silver Dollar' eucalyptus (Eucalyptus cinerea 'Silver Dollar') is an annual for cut flowers, containers, accents, and xeriscape gardens. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows fast to 24 to 36 inches tall and has fragrant, evergreen leaves. Deer tend to pass it by. Birds visit it, and it tolerates drought and salt.
Pairs well with Tuscan Blue rosemary, Strawflower, Matilija poppy, and Stonecrop.
