Eucalyptus – Peppermint (3.25″ pot)

Description

Eucalyptus – Peppermint

I grow a couple different eucalyptus in my greenhouse – they need warmth (zone 9) and sun and plenty of water although the soil must be well-drained. But they do grow well in pots and can be cut back to keep them from overgrowing the space. If you cut them close to the bottom, they coppice and get lots of scented leaves – I use them for all sorts of decorations throughout the house. And they produce enough foliage to distill essential oil as well. Eucalyptus grows fast – around 3 feet per season… so these won’t disappoint! If they dry out, the top will die back and the plant will grow up from the bottom.

All of our plants and seedlings are grown organically and are timed size-wise and transplanted for optional growth and production.
