Maggie New England Peppermint Eucalyptus is a flowering evergreen tree with dramatic fibrous bark upright branches with lazily weeping branchlets. Its peppermint scented foliage has new growth all year, emerging a vivid blue and and earns soft red and purple hints in winter. Clusters of tiny white flowers bloom in summer. Eucalyptus is not fussy about soils, and can even take boggy soils if planted in full sun. Maggie is disease, pest, heat, drought, and deer resistant.
