Eucalyptus pulverulenta 'Baby Blue' is a selection of the standard E. pulverulenta. It is sometimes called 'Little Boy Blue'.
Eucalyptus ‘Baby Blue’ has long been a favourite of the cut-foliage industry with the stems being highly sought-after as freshly picked or dried for floral art. It is a naturally dwarf species, rarely exceeding 3m and can be grown as a clipped shrub.
With careful pruning, this can be trained into a nicely shaped bush; left to its own devices it can be described as having an ‘interesting architecture’.
