Exclusive to Hardy Eucalyptus, our best-selling Eucalyptus neglecta ‘Dargo Plains’ is a plant with attitude and deserving of wider usage in the UK.
It quickly grows into an excellent large, bushy shrub and in the long term it forms a beautiful small specimen tree, great when grown as shrub-on-a-stick or free-form specimen.
Very hardy, and one of the few species that is tolerant of shady conditions.
Striking foliage and a noted fragrance make it ideal as a statement piece in any garden. Our tree at the nursery was planted in 2011 and in 2026 it is still less than 6m tall.
Why we like this species selection:
- This is a tree with personality and determined to express it; big leaves, square stems, powerful aroma
- Gives a quick result and then slows right down – unusual for a Eucalypt!
- Small screening tree with nice habits
- Grows in sun, part-shade, cool or hot – very easy to manage
This package includes a good sized starter tree, supplied in a 7.5 litre airpot, standing 150-180cm tall (from the top of the pot). New young shoots are pink/purple bronze and the whole tree canopy of Eucalyptus neglecta ‘Dargo Plains’ takes on a wonderful iced plum purple hue, when viewed from a distance during early to mid summer – echoing your Penstemon trio perfectly.
