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.
Farmer Bailey and 60 cut flower growers visit Evanthia
A look behind the scenes
Of course, we couldn't let the group go home without giving them a look behind the scenes. Among other things, we visited a Celosia grower, where they saw the Celosia in full production. From cultivation and assortment to new varieties: there was plenty to see, discuss, and discover.
But that wasn't all. During the tour, the group was introduced to various seed cleaning techniques, which sparked plenty of conversation and new ideas.
We find this exchange particularly valuable. By sharing thoughts with growers about their experiences, challenges, and interests, we stay close to what is happening in the market. Conversely, we hope to provide our visitors with fresh inspiration for their own cultivation.
TFA 2026. It's a wrap!
Stop, look, and catch up
For us, a trade fair is much more than just setting up a beautiful stand. It is the moment when everything comes together. Products that you normally only see on a screen or in a catalog are suddenly right in front of you. That is why we brought a healthy dose of Evanthia to Aalsmeer. For three days, our assortment served as the starting point for new ideas, questions, and conversations.
We spoke with growers, customers, trading partners, and other familiar faces in the industry. We discussed new ideas, current market trends, and where the opportunities lie. Sometimes at length, sometimes in between appointments. But always valuable. We listened, shared our ideas, and went home with at least as much inspiration as we arrived with.
