View full detailsElaeagnus shrubs offer a unique and attractive option for your garden. Known for their hardy nature and distinctive features, these shrubs can make a striking addition to any landscape.
Elaeagnus shrubs are mainly evergreen, though some varieties are deciduous. They are distinguished by their scaly, green foliage, with certain varieties sporting vibrant yellow rims or edges. These shrubs also feature highly fragrant flowers that add a delightful scent to your garden.
Elaeagnus Ebbingei: This variety is noted for its silvery-grey to green foliage, which adds a shimmering quality to your garden. In autumn, it produces small, highly aromatic white flowers that fill the air with a pleasant fragrance.
Elaeagnus x Ebbingei: This shrub is characterised by its dark green leaves with irregular golden margins. In the fall, it bears highly fragrant white flowers, offering both visual and olfactory interest.
Elaeagnus shrubs can grow to a height of 3-4 meters with an annual growth rate of 30-60 cm. Their moderate growth rate makes them easy to manage and shape, ensuring a neat appearance with regular pruning.
To water an Elaeagnus hedge, provide deep, thorough watering once a week during the first year to establish roots. Once established, water deeply every 2-3 weeks during dry periods. Check soil moisture by feeling 2 inches deep; if dry, it's time to water. Water at the base using a soaker hose or drip irrigation to avoid wetting foliage and prevent disease. Ensure good soil drainage to avoid waterlogging and reduce watering during rainy periods. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and reduce watering frequency.
It requires little pruning as it is grown as a loose hedge rather than a tightly knitted one as its foliage is a larger size. When it comes to pruning, it's a good idea to adopt a little and often mentality. This will keep your hedge under control and in a manageable shape. However, we also suggest that a heavier regime of pruning in late winter, ahead of the new growth that comes with spring, will best aid your Elaeagnus’ development.
Can be fed with a general-purpose feed or you can mulch to offer food as well, this can be done in spring and again in summer
