Eucalyptus: A Touch of the Australian Outback.
Eucalyptus brings an unmistakable hint of the Australian outback to the British garden, and what a unique addition it makes! Known for its striking silvery-blue leaves and smooth, peeling bark, Eucalyptus has a distinctively architectural presence that adds height, colour, and texture to any landscape. Varieties like Eucalyptus gunnii, often called the cider gum, are particularly popular in the UK, providing a focal point that’s both elegant and robust. The foliage is beautifully fragrant too, releasing that characteristic fresh, menthol scent, especially after a summer rain.
