Thompson and Morgan Eucalyptus Gunnii Azura 9cm Plant Pot 6 Pack

Discover the charm of Eucalyptus gunnii ‘Azura’, a delightful addition to any garden space. Unlike its more expansive relatives, this variety boasts a compact and bushy habit, perfectly suited for smaller gardens. Enjoy year-round interest from its evergreen, silvery-blue foliage, which shimmers and reflects light, bringing a unique touch to your borders. Exceptionally hardy, this tree withstands temperatures as low as -20°C (-4°F) and complements other shrubs and perennials beautifully. Its long stems and attractive leaves are highly sought after by florists, allowing you to effortlessly bring the beauty of nature indoors with stunning vase arrangements. For optimal growth, plant in fertile, non-alkaline, free-draining soil that retains moisture, in a sunny location sheltered from cold winds. Regular watering and fertilising are essential until the tree is well-established, after which it becomes relatively drought-tolerant and requires less upkeep. To maintain its shape and control its vigorous growth if not grown as a specimen tree, prune it regularly in early spring, cutting back all stems to three buds above soil level or a permanent low structure. Please note that the images serve as a guide to the expected appearance of mature plants; results may vary depending on growing conditions. Images may also illustrate seasonal stock availability, reflecting changes such as leaf loss in deciduous plants during colder months.
