Eucalyptus gunnii ‘France Bleu’ - Silvery Blue Elegance with Botanical Character

A refined expression of one of the most beloved eucalyptus varieties: Eucalyptus gunnii ‘France Bleu’ is prized for its intensely silvery-blue foliage, compact habit, and exceptional ornamental value. Carefully selected and grown with restraint, this specimen reflects the TOMs FLOWer CLUB philosophy of organic cultivation, patience, and natural form.

Botanical Character

‘France Bleu’ stands out for its round to slightly oval juvenile leaves, coated in a soft, powdery blue-grey hue that remains vivid throughout the seasons. When gently brushed, the foliage releases the distinctive, fresh eucalyptus aroma - clean, calming, unmistakably botanical.

With time and proper care, this eucalyptus develops into a graceful small tree or sculptural container plant, equally suited to modern gardens, terraces, or bright interiors during the colder months.

Growth & Care Notes

• Prefers a very bright to sunny location

• Thrives in well-drained, permeable substrate

• Moderate watering; avoid waterlogging

• Hardy to light frost once established, but young plants benefit from winter protection

• Responds beautifully to pruning, encouraging compact growth and fresh juvenile foliage
