Elaeagnus ‘Quicksilver’

Wonderful willowy, metallic-silver leaves are accompanied by small clusters of mainly inconspicuous, but well-scented, yellow flowers in summer. This vigorous, deciduous shrub is ideal for a sunny border close to an entrance or well-used path, where it has space to develop its broadly pyramidal shape. It’s particularly suitable for warm coastal gardens as it tolerates dry soil and salt-laden air.
