A fast-growing ornamental eucalypt often used in flower arrangements for its attractive foliage and distinctive urn-shaped seed capsules.
Creamy flowers occur in clusters of 3 during summer. The flowers are followed by the distinctive “Urn” shaped capsules.

Erect stem with weeping branches and pale grey-green bark mottled with greenish yellow.
Juvenile leaves are heart-shaped, opposite, and have a purple margin to the leaf. Adult leaves are broad and lanceolate, 10cm long and 2 cm wide.

A handsome specimen tree with dense foliage that does well in colder climates.

Occurs naturally in the sub-alpine regions of south-eastern Tasmania on rocky slopes.

Prefers medium soil in an open sunny position. Frost resistant but drought tender.

Although seeds can be sown most of the year if you avoid the coldest and hottest months, spring is generally the best time to sow.
The grow mix should be well-draining, preferably with organic compost. This will replicate the soil they require in nature.

A potting mix is not recommended.

  • Sow fine seeds on the surface and cover lightly with the grow mix or vermicule. Do not bury the seed deeply.
  •  For larger seeds, sow to a depth of the seed size.
  • Water with a fine mist spray to avoid disturbance of the seed.

Germination occurs in around 10-28 days at a soil temperature of 18-22°C

*Please note:

  • Please do not be too hasty in discarding seeds that do not germinate; seeds will often lay dormant until conditions are like their natural germination requirements.
  • All seeds must have adequate water to germinate; keep them moist but not too wet.
  • These growth notes are provided as guidance only and do not guarantee successful germination.
  • Customers should do their due diligence and ensure they are suited to their region.
