Design tips for eucalyptus (silver dollar and seeded)

Use both Silver Dollar and Seeded for textural contrast — they look different enough to feel like two greenery varieties.

Strip lower leaves before assembly — exposed eucalyptus stems look messy in clear vases.

Long stems (60cm+) are worth the extra cost — they let you cascade generously over vessel edges.
