Elaeagnus × ebbingei 'Viveleg' Pleached
Add year-round colour and structure to your garden with Elaeagnus × ebbingei 'Viveleg', a striking evergreen variety ideal for pleaching. Its bold, glossy green leaves are beautifully edged in creamy-yellow, creating a vibrant, variegated effect that brightens even the dullest corners.
In autumn, the plant produces small, silvery-white, tubular flowers that are highly fragrant and attract pollinators. These are often followed by small, olive-like fruits. Tough, reliable and tolerant of wind, salt, and pollution, 'Viveleg' is a superb choice for exposed sites, coastal locations, or urban gardens.
This pleached form is expertly trained on a horizontal framework, creating a ready-made screen perfect for above-fence privacy, garden zoning, or adding architectural interest to your outdoor space.
