Benefits for the grower
But what makes Baby Blue so special?
Eucalyptus Baby Blue is a smaller, compact growing variety of Eucalyptus pulverulenta. What sets it apart is its dense, silvery blue leaves, which are not only visually appealing, but also last very long in flower arrangements. This makes this variety extremely suitable for cutting green production. In addition, Baby Blue is easy to grow and maintain, making it an excellent choice for experienced growers and newcomers alike.
High market value: 'Baby Blue' is a premium product in the floristry sector. Due to its unique color and long shelf life, it remains in constant demand.
Compact and manageable: Thanks to its limited growth rate, it is a perfect variety for controlled cultivation and pot cultivation.
Less sensitive to pests and diseases: This reduces maintenance costs and reduces the risk of failure.
Ever growing demand: Florists and arrangers are increasingly looking for responsible and decorative cut greenery. Thanks to its low water requirement, natural resilience and long-lasting leaves, which can also be dried, Baby Blue is a good choice.
Versatility of Eucalyptus Baby Blue
Eucalyptus Baby Blue is much more than elegant cut greenery in a flower vase. When dried, it stays beautiful for months and the leaves retain their shape and color. Thanks to its sturdy branches and luxurious silvery blue leaves, this eucalyptus is often used in flower arrangements, bridal work, wreaths and dry bouquets. With a decorative appearance and minimal care requirements, it is a popular houseplant. This beauty has a light, fresh scent and is a real all-rounder in the home. It is increasingly being used as a subtle aroma diffuser. In addition, Eucalyptus Baby Blue is moderately hardy and can tolerate temperatures of up to around -5°C. In combination with its compact growth, Baby Blue is ideal as a patio and container plant for balconies, terraces and patios.

Evanthia 12.5 year anniversary
Since its inception, Evanthia has focused on developing distinctive varieties, sourcing tropical seeds and supporting growers worldwide with high-quality cultivation and market knowledge. Through a combination of breeding knowledge, market orientation and close cooperation with customers, the company has built up a strong position within the international floriculture sector in a relatively short period of time.
In recent years, Evanthia has further developed its activities within two specialized divisions: Flowers and Tropical. At Flowers, the company mainly focuses on cut flowers and flowering pot plants from seeds for professional growers. The Tropical division focuses on tropical crops from seed and tissue culture for the production of young green plants and the sale of seeds to pot growers. The organizational focus provided enables Evanthia to further expand the two market segments in a targeted manner.
The company grew in a big way. The team was expanded to include specialists in breeding, product development, sales and marketing. At the same time, Evanthia continued to invest in innovation, international cooperation and the development of new varieties and concepts that meet the needs of growers and the market.
The 12.5 year anniversary is a moment to reflect on the development of the company and the people and partners, including customers and suppliers, who have contributed to it. Throughout the year, Evanthia will pay attention to this at various times, both internally and externally. For example, the anniversary will be celebrated in April with a party for all employees, in addition to other activities and communications.
This morning we were invited to Van Egmond Matricaria to take a look at their new greenhouse.
Congratulations on this milestone and good luck with this beautiful new location!
