Loved by florists and flower arrangers for its intense, silvery-blue foliage, ‘Baby Blue’ is a compact evergreen tree, ideally suited to small gardens and smaller growing spaces. With a powerful eucalyptus aroma, the foliage sprays work fabulously well in a border or vase. Discrete, creamy-white flowers are formed on established specimens from late winter to early spring. - Garden care: Requires minimal pruning if grown as a tree, removing any broken, diseased or crossing branches in late autumn or winter. For the best juvenile foliage, prune in early spring cutting back the stems to two or three buds above the base. When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly.
