Product description
Eucalyptus gunnii Silverana, commonly known as Cider Gum, is a gorgeous, evergreen shrub. It will easily fill an area of the garden that requires a neat addition, and will also look great within any plant displays or flower arrangements. Their rounded foliage is filled with a silvery-blue colour, before gaining more of a green tone as it grows older. Its foliage brings year-round interest, as well as producing fragrant, fluffy white flowers from mid-to late Summer.
This Eucalyptus should be exposed to full sunlight. It will appreciate its soil being fertile, moist and well-drained so it can thrive well. Regular watering is necessary until it is fully established. It will then become relatively drought tolerant and require less consistent attention.
Please Note: When purchasing plants please consider that each live item is unique and may, therefore, differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. This plant will be supplied in a growers pot.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.
