Unlike the standard cider gum, which can grow several metres per year, 'France Bleu' is far more manageable, reaching a maximum of around 2m without annual cutting back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOther benefits:\u003c\/b\u003e striking blue-grey aromatic foliage year-round, compact and controllable, excellent for containers and small gardens, good for fragrant cut foliage, autumn flowers attract pollinators\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWildlife attraction:\u003c\/b\u003e White autumn flowers attract bees and other pollinators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeight \u0026amp; spread (approx.) at maturity:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.5–2m x 0.5–1m (pruned annually to maintain compact habit and juvenile foliage)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePosition:\u003c\/b\u003e Full sun in a sheltered position away from cold drying winds; south or west facing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil pH:\u003c\/b\u003e Acid to neutral; moist but well-drained soil.
