Vase Arrangements

A simple vase of eucalyptus can be a stunning statement on its own. For a minimalist look, place a few stems of silver dollar or baby blue eucalyptus in a tall vase. For a fuller arrangement, mix different types of eucalyptus with other greenery and seasonal flowers.

Wreaths and Garlands

Eucalyptus is a popular choice for wreaths and garlands due to its flexibility and longevity.
