Eucalyptus garland adds timeless elegance to your home or event. Drape over a doorframe, mantle or down a table for effortless beauty during the holidays and beyond.
Eucalyptus garland is season-less. Adorn a mantel to make it feel festive for the holidays, add it to a table to create a beautiful centerpiece for weddings, showers and more! Integrate flowers, berries, dried fruits, and other greens to enhance.
Eucalyptus garlands are beautiful utilizing a single variety or multiple varieties like the faux eucalyptus garland shown above.

Florist tips to enjoy fresh garland all season.
Fresh Eucalyptus Garlands
Fresh eucalyptus is delightfully fragrant. It can be made from a single variety, multiple varieties or a blend of fresh greens and berries. This garland is a mix of seeded eucalyptus, olive bay and pepper berries!
Tips
- For longevity, purchase the freshest eucalyptus garland you can find. Look for moist, green leaves that don’t crunch and seeds that don’t part from the stem.
- Submerge garlands in water and anti-desiccant concentrate, soak and pat dry. (Alternatively, soak, pat dry and follow with anti-desiccant spray).
- Hang garland away from direct sunlight. Avoid close proximity to heat sources / vents.
- Spritz with water daily to maintain freshness.

Faux Eucalyptus Garland
Faux garland is maintenance free and can be used year after year. They look more realistic than ever!
Faux garlands can be used indoors or outside, regardless of the weather. They’re stress-free and maintenance free! You can hang them anywhere without fear of damage. Drape along a stairwell, over windows, doors, headboards, bunk beds, tables and mantels.
I have scoured stores to find the most realistic faux eucalyptus garlands so you don’t have to! We have and love these. To store, hang a nail on a storage room wall and hang from the loop of the garland.
Tip
For the most realistic faux garland, compare garland to a sprig of fresh eucalyptus available at most grocers.
