Elaeagnus 'Quicksilver' is a deciduous shrub or small tree, known for its stunning silver-grey foliage and fast growth, making it a great choice for adding colour and texture to UK gardens. It typically grows to about 3-4 metres (10-13 feet) in height and spread, forming a bushy, rounded habit.

Key Features:

  • Foliage: The lance-shaped leaves are a striking silvery-grey, giving the plant a shimmering appearance that stands out, especially when used in borders or as a focal point.
  • Flowers: In early summer (May to June), it produces small, inconspicuous yellowish-white flowers that are highly fragrant, attracting pollinators. While the flowers are not showy, their scent is one of the plant’s highlights.
  • Berries: After flowering, the shrub may develop small, silver berries, though these are not a prominent feature.
  • Growth Rate: It is a fast-growing shrub, ideal for creating a quick screen or hedge.

Growing Conditions:

  • Light: Thrives in full sun, which helps enhance the silvery foliage. It can also tolerate partial shade but may lose some of its vivid colour in less sunny spots.
  • Soil: Adaptable to various soil types, it grows best in well-drained soils and can tolerate poor, dry soils once established. It also thrives in coastal areas, where it tolerates salty winds.
  • Watering: Once established, 'Quicksilver' is very drought-tolerant, making it low-maintenance in terms of watering needs.
  • Hardiness: Hardy in the UK, it withstands cold winters and is suitable for most UK gardens.

Landscape Uses:

Elaeagnus 'Quicksilver' is often used as a specimen plant, in mixed borders, or as a windbreak or hedging plant. Its silvery foliage contrasts beautifully with darker or greener plants, making it an excellent choice for adding contrast and visual interest.

Additionally, its resilience to tough conditions, including coastal exposure, and its fragrant flowers make it a versatile and attractive addition to gardens across the UK
