‘Silver Dollar’ is an ornamental eucalyptus prized for its round, silvery-blue foliage, refreshing fragrance, and exceptional value in floral design. Coin-shaped leaves grow along long, straight stems, creating an elegant, modern look in both the garden and fresh or dried arrangements.

Start ‘Silver Dollar’ indoors for transplanting, lightly pressing the seeds onto the soil surface without covering them. Space plants 24 to 36 inches apart and grow in full sun with well-drained soil. Keep young plants consistently moist while they establish. Once established, this variety offers good drought tolerance and is also well suited to containers.

Ready to harvest in about 120 days, cut stems once the foliage begins to feel leathery and has developed its characteristic silvery-blue color.

Fragrant, graceful, and versatile, ‘Silver Dollar’ is an excellent choice for bouquets, foliage filler, fresh arrangements, dried arrangements, containers, landscaping, and ornamental plantings.
