Notes
'Silver Drop' eucalyptus (Eucalyptus gunnii 'Silver Drop') is a tree for cut flowers, low maintenance gardens, and xeriscapes. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist soil of most types. It is the best variety for bouquets. Deer tend to pass it by. Birds visit it, and its fragrant leaves stay evergreen all year.
Pairs well with Olive, Pineapple sage, and Texas mountain laurel.
