Eucalyptus gunni

'Silver Drop' Eucalyptus, sometimes called a "Cider Gum", is a great aromatic herb and has a lovely, small, silvery leaf . These stems work well in any arrangement and can be used both fresh and dried. Add this great filler to your flower garden for its height as a background plant and its unusual but beautiful look. A more cold-hardy variety of the Eucalyptus family, 'Silver Drop' has thrived on our farm here in zone 7, despite the harsh winters we sometimes get!

Medicinally, the essential oils from Eucalyptus 'Silver Drop' are used to relieve respiratory and sinus congestion and infection, rashes, sores and asthma. These oils are also used in deodorants, bath oils, shampoos and in Aromatherapy products.

Eucalyptus is easy to grow and maintain, both in the ground or in a container. It can be brought indoors to winter over, but be sure to give it lots of sunshine or this Tasmanian native won't grow happily.

Very nice plant	October 30, 2012
Reviewer: Anonymous Person

My mom loves eucalyptus trees and the Silver Drop from Grower's Exchange continues to be a favorite of hers. They are easy to grow and do well in containers outdoors and indoors (while small). We're on the border between zones 6 and 7 and we bring the plants inside for the winter and move them back out in spring. I would recommend this plant to beginners and experienced gardeners alike.

Gotta Love Euc!	March 1, 2011
Reviewer: Della from danville, IN United States

I love Silver Drop Eucalyptus! I live in zone 5 so, I use it like an annual. That is why I love getting it from the Growers Exchange because when they ship it, it is already huge! Silver Drop Euc is fragrant and perfect for cut flowers. Don't let your zone stop you, this plant is worth getting year after year!
