Silverberry, is an adaptable, vigorous evergreen shrub with rough matt green leaves with silvery undersides. From a distance, it gives the overall impression of silveriness as it moves in the wind.
Elaeagnus x ebbingei makes one of the best coastal hedges and is considered a front line coastal shrub, making an effective windbreak. The dense bushy habit also makes it an ideal evergreen hedge for inland gardens. Its most significant attribute are the small but highly scented flowers that appear in Autumn. They are usually well hidden in the foliage, but make themselves known with their beautiful perfume that will drift for many metres. It also has edible red berries in the Spring, that are very high in vitamin C. The flowers will be covered with bees and the birds will probably take the berries before you can collect them for yourself. It is a very valuable wildlife addition to any garden.
It will grow in full sun, but can take shade. It will grow in poor soils, but does require free-draining ground and will not do well on damp sites.
