- Planting & Care
- An exceptional evergreen with silvery, blue-green foliage that adds wonderful winter interest to the garden.
- In summer, small, creamy-white flowers appear, providing a valuable food source for bees and butterflies.
- The fragrant, rounded leaves are a favourite with florists and develop a beautiful silver hue as they mature.
- A fast-growing tree that can reach over 12m, but responds well to pruning, coppicing, or pollarding to be kept as a multi-stemmed shrub or smaller tree.
- As the tree matures, its bark sheds to reveal a stunning patchwork of colours, adding to its appeal.
- Known as the 'cider gum', its aromatic leaves naturally repel insects like mosquitoes, making it ideal for planting near patios and ponds.
- Low maintenance, fully hardy, and easy to grow, this variety has received the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit.
