Silver Dollar, Eucalyptus Seeds
Key Attributes
Silver Dollar Eucalyptus, scientifically known as Eucalyptus cinerea, is a striking evergreen tree prized for its distinctive, rounded leaves that resemble silver coins, giving it its common name. Native to Australia, this fast-growing tree can reach heights of up to 30 feet, although it is often cultivated as a smaller shrub in gardens. The leaves are a soft gray-green color, with a waxy texture that adds to their visual appeal and resilience in various climates.
Silver Dollar Eucalyptus is particularly valued for its aromatic foliage, which emits a fresh, minty fragrance when brushed or crushed. This makes it a popular choice for landscaping and floral arrangements. The tree produces small, cup-shaped flowers that are generally less showy but attract pollinators. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, adapting well to a range of conditions. With its unique foliage and pleasant scent, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus is a favorite for both ornamental gardens and as a cut foliage in floral displays.

Our Seed Promise
"Agriculture and seeds" provide the basis upon which our lives depend. We must protect this foundation as a safe and genetically stable source for future generations. For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners and consumers who want an alternative, we pledge that we do not knowingly buy or sell genetically engineered seeds or plants.
The mechanical transfer of genetic material outside of natural reproductive methods and between genera, families or kingdoms, poses great biological risks as well as economic, political, and cultural threats. We feel that genetically engineered varieties have been insufficiently tested prior to public release. More research and testing is necessary to further assess the potential risks of genetically engineered seeds. Further, we wish to support agricultural progress that leads to healthier soils, to genetically diverse agricultural ecosystems, and ultimately to healthy people and communities.
