Eucalyptus caesia 'Silver Princess' - Silver Princess Gum is a captivating evergreen tree renowned for its striking silver-white peeling bark and elegant weeping canopy. Growing to a manageable height of 5–8 meters with a spread of 3–5 meters, it brings a dramatic yet refined presence to gardens and landscapes. Its narrow, blue-green leaves add softness to the silhouette, while large pink to red flowers bloom from late winter to spring, attracting native birds and bees.

This variety thrives in full sun, adapts to a wide range of soils, and is highly drought-tolerant once established, making it a practical yet beautiful choice for small gardens, feature planting, and eco-conscious landscapes. Low maintenance and moderately watered, it fits perfectly where visual impact meets ease of care.

It looks excellent as a graceful centerpiece or subtle statement — its shimmering bark and vibrant blossoms effortlessly elevate outdoor spaces, creating a sense of calm and natural elegance that resonates with anyone who loves a garden that feels both lively and thoughtfully designed.
