The attractively peeling grey bark reveals patches of yellowish-brown that weather beautifully to soft pink and green tones over time, while rounded, silvery-blue juvenile leaves — much loved by flower arrangers — give way to longer, sickle-shaped grey-green foliage on more mature growth. Small, fragrant white flowers appear in mid- to late summer. This variety holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eLeft unpruned it will grow into a substantial tree, but it's commonly kept as a large shrub through regular hard pruning, which also encourages the plant to retain its more ornamental rounded juvenile leaves — an approach many gardeners prefer for smaller spaces or as an eye-catching feature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFast-growing and undemanding, it thrives in full sun in any light, well-drained soil, ideally acid to neutral, and appreciates a sheltered spot while establishing. Left to grow naturally it can eventually reach well over 12m, though regular pruning will comfortably keep it to a more manageable size and shape for most gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSupplied as a well-established plant in a 7-litre pot, ready to plant out and establish quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEach plant is hand-selected before dispatch.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PengellyGardenCentre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58787021160822,"sku":null,"price":49.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0380\/1766\/3020\/files\/Screenshot2026-09-21133942.png?v=1789994661","url":"https:\/\/www.pengellygardencentre.co.uk\/products\/eucalyptus-gunnii-7ltr-pot","provider":"PengellyGardenCentre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
