Eucalyptus cinerea, commonly known as Silver Dollar Eucalyptus, is a fast-growing evergreen tree prized for its distinctive round, silvery-blue leaves and refreshing aromatic scent. Native to Australia, this striking variety adds soft texture and luminous color to landscapes, floral arrangements, and herbal collections alike. Its coin-shaped juvenile foliage is especially popular in fresh bouquets and dried décor. With its upright growth habit and cool-toned beauty, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus brings both ornamental elegance and functional herbal value to warm-climate gardens.
Wildlife Benefits: When mature, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus produces nectar-rich blooms that attract bees and other beneficial pollinators. In suitable climates, it can provide seasonal shelter for birds and support local biodiversity.
Medicinal Benefits: The leaves are rich in essential oils, particularly eucalyptol, traditionally used to support respiratory health. The aromatic foliage is commonly incorporated into steam inhalations, chest rubs, and herbal preparations to help ease congestion and promote clear breathing. Leaves are also popular in dried bundles and shower hangings for natural home fragrance. (Essential oils should always be properly diluted and used with care.)
Native Status: Native to southeastern Australia, Eucalyptus cinerea thrives in warm, sunny climates. In Georgia, it performs best as a fast-growing seasonal specimen or container plant unless protected from hard freezes.
Pollinator Friendliness: When allowed to mature and bloom, its flowers offer nectar for bees and beneficial insects, making it a valuable addition to pollinator-supportive landscapes.
Height: 20–40+ feet in optimal conditions (can be maintained smaller with pruning)
Spacing: 10–20 feet (if planting in-ground)
Sun/Shade: Full Sun
How to Grow: Silver Dollar Eucalyptus prefers well-drained soil and full sunlight. It becomes drought tolerant once established but benefits from regular watering during its first growing season. In Georgia, plant after the last frost and consider container growing for winter protection. Prune regularly to maintain its signature rounded foliage and encourage bushier growth for leaf harvest.
Add silvery texture, aromatic freshness, and herbal versatility to your garden with Silver Dollar Eucalyptus — a stunning foliage plant that blends landscape beauty with traditional wellness uses.
Available in 2.5 inch and 4.25 inch (quart) pots
