A native of Australia, Silver Dollar Plant is at home in warm climates or indoors, and can be pruned to desired height. Expect it to put on as much as 8 feet of height in a single season! And in the sunny garden, it grows rapidly but is not invasive. It will eventually reach 30 feet or more high, with a tall, slender silhouette that fits well in today's smaller gardens.
To dry, simply cut the stem at the desired height and hang it upside-down in a well-ventilated, dry, somewhat cool location. The 3- to 4-inch leaves, each pierced by the central stem, are magnificent over a long time, and unlike anything else in the garden or home!
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 50 seeds. Zones 8-10.
Grown as house or conservatory plants in cold regions, while in warmer areas they are grown outdoors as large trees. In cultivation Eucalyptus species grow 20-50 feet tall, while in their homeland they reach heights of 150-300 feet. The aromatic branches are popular in dried arrangements. The juvenile leaves of E. cinerea, Silver Dollar Tree, are silver, round, and pierced through the center by the stems; mature leaves are silver and lanceolate shaped (Zones 8- 11). The juvenile leaves of E. globulus, Tasmanian Blue Gum Tree, are white, round, and fuzzy; they elongate into blue-green, oval mature leaves (Zones 9-11). Leaves of both species are evergreen
Superior Germination Through Superior Science
First of all, we have humidity- and temperature-controlled storage, and we never treat any of our seeds with chemicals or pesticides. Nor do we ever sell GMO's (genetically modified seeds), so you always know the products you're buying from us are natural as well as safe for you and the environment.

Hand Packed By Experienced Technicians
Park Seed has been handling and packing vegetable and flower seeds for 145 years, a history that has given us a great understanding of how each variety should be cared for and maintained throughout every step of theprocess, from collection to shipping.
When packing our seeds, the majority are actually done by hand (with extreme care!), and we often over-pack them, so you're receiving more than the stated quantity.
The Park Seed Gold Standard
Heirloom Seeds are open-pollinated -- they are not hybrids. You can gather and save heirloom seed from year to year and they will grow true to type every year, so they can be passed down through generations. To be considered an heirloom, a variety would have to be at least from the 1940's and 3 generations old (many varieties are much older -- some 100 years or more!).
Hybrid seed are the product of cross-pollination between 2 different parent plants, resulting in a new plant/seed that is different from the parents. Unlike Heirloom seed, hybrid seed need to be re-purchased new every year (and not saved). They usually will not grow true to type if you save them, but will revert to one of the parents they were crossed with and most likely look/taste different in some way.
