Seeded eucalyptus
Eucalyptus populus · aka seeded gum
Seeded eucalyptus carries small silver-green seed clusters along its stems — the design detail that distinguishes it from other eucalyptus varieties. The seeds catch light, hold shape when dried, and give boutonnieres their signature textural interest. A premium alternative to plain silver dollar eucalyptus.
