Eucalyptus (A)
Eucalyptus sp.
Annual
Start inside 8-10 weeks before last frost. Do not cover seed, and provide warm soil temperatures, 27-30°C (80-85°F). Germination should occur within 2 weeks. Transplant into the garden after all risk of frost is past, 12-18" apart. Eucalyptus prefers full sun and light, well-drained soil. Water and fertilize regularly. Plants may be lifted in the fall and brought inside to grow as houseplants. When doing this, try to get as large of a root ball as possible. You may preserve eucalyptus by air-drying or with glycerine.
