(Seed Grown - Limited Numbers)
Eucalyptus synandra isn’t your everyday gum tree—it’s the kind of plant that makes visitors stop, squint, and say, “What's that growing in your garden?” Native to the red sandy soils of Western Australia, this rare mallee is built for tough love: full sun, drought, and lean, fast-draining ground that would make most plants throw a tantrum.
 
Compact and well-behaved, it puts on its best show in summer, when branches are strung with clusters of dangling pink flowers that flutter like tiny ballet dancers. Pollinators can’t resist them, gardeners can’t stop bragging, and if you come near mine with clippers—well, let’s just say that conversation won’t end politely.
