Why choose a Dwarf Gum Standard? This Australian native standard combines blue-green foliage with bright yellow winter and spring flowers and distinctive bell-shaped gumnuts. Its compact form provides an elevated feature without the scale of a large gum tree, and the flowers attract birds, bees and other pollinators.

How can I use it in my garden?

• Plant as a feature in a sunny front garden or courtyard

• Use as a standard accent near an entrance, path or driveway

• Include in a native or low-water garden with grasses and groundcovers

Where does it grow best?

Grow in full sun in well-drained, free-draining soil. It is drought tolerant and lightly to moderately frost tolerant once established; light pruning after flowering can help keep the head dense and well-shaped.

What does it look like through the year?

Large oval blue-green to grey-green evergreen leaves provide year-round texture. Bright yellow flowers appear through winter and spring, followed by decorative bell-shaped gumnuts.
