The Majestic Australian Tree . . . Perfect for Containers!
Eucalyptus Lemon Bush
Aromatic gray-green foliage is so distinctive.
Starts readily from seed, reaching only 3 to 4 feet high if container-bound.
Nothing else looks or smells like Eucalyptus, and now, no matter where you live, you can grow this majestic Australian native from seed in your own home! Lemon Bush is a well-branched dwarf variety with sword-shaped gray-green leaves, tiny white blooms, and a bit of red fall foliage change. Find your best container, then grow it in a bright window indoors or full sun outdoors until first frost!
Lemon Bush reaches only 3 to 4 feet high and 1 to 1 1/2 feet wide, with good branching and plenty of that unique citrus-spice fragrance. Actually an herb, its 3-inch leaves are bold and dramatic indoors, and the white summer blooms add another look to the interesting display.
Very long-lived, this Eucalyptus asks only for good potting soil refreshed annually and adequate water. The seed germinates in light, so lay it on top of the sponge in your Bio-Dome or atop the soil in a seed flat. You will love watching this tree take shape before your eyes! Pkt is 20 seeds.
