MBN 1Gal Eucalyptus pulverulenta Baby Blue st 05504

pulverulenta Baby Blue silhouette mature, unpruned plant fragrant flowers for cut foliage also sold as Blue Baby or Little Boy Blue. The leaves are smaller than the regular form of E. pulverulenta, bluer, often with a violet or purplish hue and sometimes prominently so when pushing new growth, and more crowded along the stem, making it more highly valued for use as cut foliage. The flowers have a strong scent of raw honey, produce a heavy load of nectar, and draw large numbers of hummingbirds. If you don't cut it back hard to flush new growth for foliage production this variety will grow quickly to about 30', as a single, slightly angled main trunk with a strong herringbone-like branch pattern, before broadening its crown to an irregular spreading crown with somewhat pendant branchlets. Handily survived 19°F with some damage. Myrtaceae. rev 3/2012
