7 Silver Dollar Eucalyptus Plugs Planted - June 2026

Just like the other plugs from Garden Club, I finally got around to planting out the Silver Dollar Eucalyptus plugs back in mid-May.  This post is going up a month later, but these have been planted since mid-May.  These arrived in early April and I up-potted them to slightly larger pots and nursed them along first indoors then moving them outdoors. Seven of the eight original ones made it to planting day.  I put six in one Greenstalk planter and the remaining one in another.

Below are a few photos showing that planting process:

I recently bought a few more eucalyptus plants from a small nursery along the Illinois/Wisconsin border and I'll post about those in the coming days.  

Last year, I grew one of these in a patio container and it performed *fine* - I was able to get some clippings for arrangements.  

I included in my 2026 to-do list the idea of using the Greenstalk for accent plants (exactly like this):

9. Accents, too.  Speaking of adding variety to cut flower arrangements, we can do better job of growing accent plants for foliage. Plan to use the Greenstalk Vertical Garden for these cut flower accent plants this year. Instead of growing vegetables. Do a row of herbs and then load up the vertical garden pockets with accent plants like the Eucalyptus that I grew last year.
