The detail

Hardy, evergreen shrubs offering strong year-round structure, distinctive foliage colour, and excellent resilience for gardens, patios and landscaping projects.

Elaeagnus is valued for its attractive silver-green or variegated leaves, fast growth and ability to thrive in exposed, coastal or low-maintenance gardens. Each variety delivers its own visual impact: ‘Crispy’ with textured rippled leaves, Ebbingei with classic silverberry tones, ‘Maryline’ with gold-edged variegation, and ‘Viveleg’ with elegant cream-margined foliage. Together, these shrubs bring contrast, movement and enduring colour to mixed borders, hedges, pots and screening designs.
