Elaeagnus: A Hardy Beauty with Year-Round Appeal.
Elaeagnus is a versatile and resilient plant that brings a touch of understated beauty to the garden all year round. Known for its attractive, often silvery foliage, Elaeagnus offers a wonderful contrast to darker green plants and looks equally lovely as a standalone specimen or as part of a mixed border. Some varieties, such as Elaeagnus × ebbingei, are evergreen, retaining their striking leaves throughout winter and providing valuable structure and colour even in the colder months. It’s a plant that quietly shines, offering elegance without ever overpowering the garden.
